I swear... Porche facelifts and redesigns make for the most boring news in all of the car industry. The changes are so miniscule, that it's almost pointless. The whole "don't fix what isn't broken" approach can only last for so long before it ends up looking lazy and uninspired.

Why ruin a beautiful design? It's been said before but I'll say it again, Porsche's sales would decrease if they drastically modified the classic style of their cars. I'm more than happy for them to look similar. They're a timeless design. Also remember that their classic design has very low drag.

You guys need to stop saying low drag. It is not low drag compared to todays standards. 911's have higher drag ratios than some 4 door cars!!!!

pzigly, thats not the point. 4 door sedans should be more efficient because the longer length makes it easier to design a car that can cut through air more efficiently. With a shorter car its much harder to achieve and usually the have more compromises.

The problem is that 911 has changed the 80's cars were beatiful until the best one the 993, then they changed the front, the tail and the lights and haven't been able to build a car that doesn't look pimped.

pimped isn't really the way i'd describe porsche's since the 993.

looks like genuine computer renderings.. probably updating rear and front with leds which is a good thing.. extensive facelifts only happen when the previous design was a flop, which is far from being the case, plus in this upscale segment you don't want to upset customers that own the previous version, period
