I love the Porsche 911.

But, I don't know why, I don't like at all the Turbo-version of the 997.. I don't like the look it has, the wheels are not well-designed and are too big, so the car appears to be too short, the front bumper is way too complex and makes the front overhang appear too long... I don't like the noise it makes, a Carrera is also much better from that point of view.

In one word... A 997 Carrera is one of the best looking cars on earth, absolutely love it.
But the Turbo is too heavy, without beeing much more aggressive, don't like at all. And I know what I'm saying: there is the very same car often parked near where I actually work: dark grey 997 Turbo Cab...

Whereas the SL... What can I say? It is sex on wheels.

I would wait for the face-lift though, always better to have the newest!
