Randomly parked away from the C&C show but still found it

Did you know? There are two 9 Slots on the back & two red middle brake lights = 992

I’m a pretty big Porsche fan so I expected to like it, but the details on this new generation are very nice. I love how Porsche can take the same basic formula and continue to refine it. Can’t wait to see more of these on the road soon.

Below are some other cool finds from last weeks Cars & Coffee..

Aston Martin Zagato, right?

Never seen a prettier CTS-V color. Really transforms the look of the car, imo.

RAD old Saab

One more Beetle to go. Touring 6MT..NEED

Not a fan of the front clip - needs Sport Design.

That Touring is great, but it makes me crazy when guys put the spoilers up in parking lots...

That SAAB is dope.

Yeah I hear that. Also a little ironic given the Touring doesn’t have the big spoiler.

Also, that Sport design is much better.

Those are some good looking beetles. That red one is even the same color as mine, just has a couple more hund red horsepower .....and seat belts... oh and a 12 volt battery. .

Why.

Why do Porsche, Ford Mustang, and other car designs insist on not aligning the seams of the roof with the edges of the glass?

The little corners on the top of the windshield and rear glass take a great look with the blacked out/glass sunroof look, and ruin it because the seams don’t flow.

It is IRRITATING!!!!

Nissan 300ZX, 350Z, G35 and others can get it right... it is possible to do it correctly, although 300ZX should have blacked out the T-top roof spars, and didn’t back in it’s day. Owners who did it later showed how good it looks.

the 992 looks much better from that angle

Agreed. The 992 front bumper has too much black plastic. Rear bumper too.

I think it is! It was parked away and I only grabbed that photo as they were pulling out but I’ve never seen one in person before.
