Subzero for me, the ideal car : powerful, reliable, safe, comfortable ( or almost .. )

actually it's cool, 'til now what i've seen and read it's pretty nice but i have to wait for the final statement until i drove it... so i'll have to wait for summer when it comes to the dealers

It's very good. But to be subzero, I think it has to be a bit irracional.. and the 911tt is very racional, it's a wonderful car!

very very very cool...the fact that there are also smaller, lighter 911 turbo's with aircooled engines prevents it from being SZ...

Very cool, but definately not SZ. PAG have made an amazing car, so we have little to doubt that they can do more with this same car X50/X73

Uncool, it's just yet another model in the Modern Porsche 991 line up. Porsche pre 996=cool. The new ones just aren't.

At first the 997 was definitely uncool for me because it was so "retro".

But after seeing this:

Almost made it a Sub-Zero. I went with Cool for performance and understated looks.
