The next one might be full electric with, so it won't be rear engined anymore...

I had a 997 and I agree the 997 is a better looking car than the 991 and soon to be 992.
However... The 991 is not as big as you might think. The M2 is a 'small' car right? Lets compare the size of the M2 to a 991.
- - - - - - - - - M2 - - - - - 991
Wheelbase - 106.0 - - 96.5
Length - - 176.2 - - 177.1
Width - - 73.0 - - 71.2
Height - - 55.5 - - 50.9
Weight - - 3450 - - 3153
The M2 is a bigger car. Is the 991 bigger than it should be? IMO, yes. Is the 991 a big car, or a midsize car, or a luxury coupe? Nope. Its a sports car that is getting bigger like almost every other car.
The 993 and 997 are the best looking 911s imho. The 996 is the only 911 that never really grew on me. I thought the 991.1 and 991.2 were a little odd at first (because they aren't as pretty as a 997) but they have grown on me and I think this 992 is very similar to a 991 and will grow on me as well.
