Oldie, but best ever built, to drive daily I've heard. So Porsche Doctors of Engineering Siences: put yourself together and make a new one.

the current one was launched in 2004. and it costs billions to develop a whole new car. think about.

k, odysseus... investing billions to make a car? I don't know the numbers but I doubt it is billions. If Porsche was willing to invest billions into the Cayenne, they aren't going to see that any time soon. That being said I believe Porsche lost all of it's good designers by now. The new models they make are complete rubish in terms of asthetics (think Panamera and Cayenne). I believe the reason why they don't redesign the 911 is not because they don't have the money to do so, or because of "tradition" or any of those other brand faithful words. But because they know if they do, they will never be able to live up to people's design expectations. So they take the pussy way out and release minor face lifts every few years.

Blah.. The new technical stuff sounds good, but why don't they ever change the look of the car? All the Porsche models look too much alike!

that´s the point, u have to understand the philosophy of the a 911 first: tradition and evolution.

If it aint broke , dont fix it, I can understand about the similar looks as other years , but its very distinctive and not many cars have lasted this long,

i think they have done a pretty good job, i mean it´s just a facelift not a complete new model. the pre-facelift doesn´t look old now and the LED rear lights and new bumbers makes the car look a bit more aggressive.
what´s more interesting is the technical side of the facelift, dual clutch gearbox, afficient DI engine.
porsche says it could run to 60mph in 4.3 seconds, so in reality it will be around 3.8 then and still very efficent, that´s great :)

i`d rather own a timeless, elegant and unique "son of a frog or beetle" whatever u may call it-sportscar than all these soulless overloaded supercars on steroids, like a Murcielago or veyron, gumpert etc.

The current one was developed in 2005 guys.. Porsche is about evolution.. if it aint broke dont fix it.. the changes are awesome.. being in sales at Porsche alot of these things we have been waiting so long for.. the transmission.. the touch nav. blue tooth new wheels etc.. The next generation Porsche will be out 2011 as a 2012. Main focus is Panamera now..

The PDK looks nice. Porsche is ALL about passion and soul. Thats why you've always seen the same design qualities since the beginning. They stick to their passion and don't sell out like BMW and some other companies by making their cars noticeably bigger and fatter. Then again, this is my opinion also.

Joe_Limon, maybe you're right about Porsches lack of designers or that "tradition" a lie when it comes to the 911, although i doubt it heavily, it doesnt matter :) .
That 997 there up top, is gorgeous and whether "classic" is bull or not, on the 911 it works, a 911 is unlike any other sportscar for better or for worse. Theres no mistaking a Porsche 911 for any other car which makes a great sports/supercar(depending on trim) even more of a specialty among other cars.

Looks like a beetle only VERY little because Ferdinand Porsche first designed the Beetle. And the similarites are very small and really only seen by the truly ignorant. 911 = Sex on wheels.

Nice job. For those who think that has no difference between the old one and the new one, you're probably becoming blind or mad. The same about comparisons to Beetle.

Porsche is not a crap, it is a extremely drivable, one of the best sports car in that world but just engineered up overdo, not designed.

Timeless and unique as... always! PDK is for grandpa's and new rich posers tho, they even got the shifting motion on the wrong side (in a real sportscars sequential box you push to downshift following the motion of the car). Expect better looking 19" wheels as an extra cost. Hopefully delivered by October.................
