New 911 - 991

Mmmm. Interesting.

I like the interior, and they haven't spoiled the exterior, so generally thumbs up.

Hopefully the engines won't go pop!

(though I haven't heard of many 997.2 direct injection engines going pop)

Looks good!

That extended beige thing looks bloody horrible..

Cocoa or black is where it's at for the extended interior package. Not bloody baby sick beige.

But the exterior is superb and you can be sure it'll be a fantastic drive.

Yea, goes without saying that savanna interiors always look cack - but otherwise interior is good. Agree on cocoa & black.

Agree- It put me off so many 911's when I was looking, as to did the blue leather everywhere, on some models.

Given how little changes exterior wise,I'm guessing you don't have to be that creative to be on the design team....

Yes, the words 'metropole' have you reaching for the next button don't they.

I like it. To be honest, I'm liking any 911 at the moment - the ride I had in the turbo has brain washed me!
