porsche unveils 911 with 4s badge on the rear paris 2012 live shots

Hey, remember when Porsche made an effort to make the C4s visually distinctive? Yeah, neither do we. But the new one has stop-start and is good for the polar ice caps. Anyways, if you squint really hard you can see the big visual change on the 2013 911 Carrera 4S. The “4S” badge on the decklid.

It's gorgeous! They went back to the stand-up headlights and windshield. The "hips" are incredibly voluptuous. There are no boy-racer vents on the facias. I want one! What? The blue one? Nevermind.

This just proves that the pinacle of 911 design was the 993. The 996, 997 and 991 are all inferior at an accelerating rate.

  Out-of-context, they're fine. I see one going down the highway, and lust. Park one next to a 993 at Porschefest, though, and you're right. The 993 Turbo S is still very high on my Lottery list. Like top 5 of all time.

Mister It wasn't helped any by the horrible fuel economy for what it was... something like 22mpg city, iirc.
Lorenzo I shop for all-season tires that have good wet and dry pavement grip and use them year-round. Nothing works on black ice, and I stopped driving in snow long ago - I'll wait until the streets and highways are plowed, when all-seasons are good enough. After all, I don't live in Canada or deep in the snow zone.
FormerFF I’m in Atlanta. The summers go on in April and come off in October. I have a Cayman that stays on summer tires year round and gets driven on winter days when the temperature gets above 45 F and it’s dry, which is usually at least once a week.
