Viper Green looks tidy, the extra plastic on the bumpers DOESN'T. Hope they put some kind of cover around the gear lever, looks cheap.

Sooooo glad I got mine before the change.

Personally I think the facelift looks much sharper and now makes the gen 2 look a bit dated.

It doesn’t matter what car forum you go on. People who have a model that has been replaced/facelifted always say they hate the new one and they are pleased they don’t have one.

A couple of years down the line the same people write about how much they love their latest gen car.

Even in the metal these metallics can look so different in varying light conditions, from OPC showroom lights to dismal British weather. Sadly Porsche don't supply sunshine with their cars!
Bet they’d have a go if you paid them enough 😂

This is indeed natural. I don’t like either the Gen 1 or. Gen 3! 😂

To be fair, I hated ALL things Porsche with a passion, until I put a deposit on one. Opinions change. I’m sure one day people will even like the naked mole rat design favoured by BMW designers…….nah, who’m I kidding, that will always make children cry and grown men hurl.

I prefer the Gen 2 to the Gen 1 now. Initially upon the 2’s launch I wasn’t sure, then I saw them in then flesh side by side and the 2 looks better IMO.

My opinion on that hasn’t changed - I still hate 90% of the people that drive Porsches! Too many people buy them for the badge and not the engineering !

I hadn't realised that the GTS has surface coated brakes as standard, nice!

Nice until you need to replace them. Then extremely expensive.
