To me, it’s “meh”. There’s nothing especially appealing about the 997.2 to me. It looks too plain to me. Not wide enough hips. Not enough power for how heavy it is. Looks dumb when the tiny little spoiler is deployed.

I think the 991 and 992s have more character from a styling point of view.

At this point I’d seek one of those out.

And finally.....the Boxster still always drives better.

(Have to be honest)
It's been a while since I've driven a 911S. I remember thinking they were more fun in a straight line than the Boxster, but yeah the Boxster is more entertaining all around.

I should just buy a Spyder, right? I mean, that's sort of the ultimate expression of that chassis.
