That's all great I am sure, but I would love to see Porsche come up with something more than just another facelift car. Shake up the design a little and play with the form a little more. The silhouette is iconic I know, but there should still be room for fresh design thinking. And frankly a little more excitement and risk taking. Maybe this is the wrong time for that Mr. Bangle?

How can you suggest such a thing? The past 10 years have been nothing but radical new designs for the 911. Its time we return to subtle, evolutionary updates using the timeless original lines. If you want a design that's been shaken, go pick from this list.
