I couldn't agree with you more. Boring styling, boring styling, boring styling.

The 911 Turbo may be 3mph faster than a 360, but it sure is UGLY, with almost 50 years old styling, the 911 is annoying now. Variety is the spice of life. I like my Ferrari's spicy, and red hot!

Well, just because styling has been around 50+ years doesn't mean it's ugly. I mean, a 250 GTO Is still gorgeous.

Of course, the original 911 (and 356) were ugly, and still are

Talking

I meant the styling of the 911 is basically unchanged, and it sucks. It's getting annoying.

You guys are mostly right, but if Porsche changed it's styling, it wouldn't be a Porsche now would it?

I think Porsche is running on their last body possibilities for the 911.

What's next Porsche?
You'd better call the number on the back of your car (911) or get Ferrari or Pinafarina to design you some new shapes!

....or Bertone or Stevens... or the blind armless retard who designed the Aztek, for that matter. Okay, maybe that's going a little too far. But seriously, their styling is so damn bland.

I do like the styling of some of the 80's Porsche 911's, like the 930 and the slantnose. I also liked the whale tail.

I actually like the way the new 996's look. Especially the drop tops.

I HATE the 911 cabrios.. those are UGLY


but I do think the 911 GT2 is very beautiful... not at all bland but a nice 'pocket rocket'...

but when you want a little more than a pocket, look @ Ferrari

Ah crap, looks like I'm outnumbered. Porsche is still great though. I admit that the 911 is getting old but it's called "Tradition". And as what's next for Porsche.... the Cayenne Oh well, The Boxster still has hope.... Right....?

The Boxter still has hope, right?

Well, maybe. It's the only porsche model car I have. I think they look really good. Sure, they aren't a blazing little roadster, but they're pretty quick and look pretty good (in their subtlety). But, seriously. Despite their performance, they just look like a beetle. Seriously. And, when you think about it....
Beetle-->356-->early 911------->996 911's
And, on top of that, I really just don't find 928's, 914's, 924's, very attractive at all...944's aren't too bad.

I think Porsche should introduce something new...that's not an SUV. The Carrerra GT is a step in the right direction. It's got good looks (not quite pininfarina, but good), but it's just too damn unattainable. They need something a little flashier, maybe between the price range of the 911 and boxter. Something mid-engined, 2-seater, coupe/targa, and with some style...not just a bubble.
