It's just personal preference pal, Jeremy Clarkson hates 911 because they haven't innovated again since the 50s, they just keep evolving the same design, according to him they had a great idea and they just keep living off of it, he has states this in a lot of episodes, if you love the 911 fine, i want to be awed and surprised at the next thing a car maker is going to come up with, Lamborghini is the prime example of this, every new car you lay back and say wow, think Aventador, Egoista, etc

Evolving design, yes, its iconic. Without that shape it wouldnt be a 911.
As for engineering, they are some of the most overengineered cars in the world. They have spent so much perfecting the suspension geometry, steering is and always has been industry standard by good margin, and the motor is a masterpiece in any GT3 to name a few of the reasons why its held and praised so highly by all.
The GT3 is the winningest car in racing history. Enough said.

Consolidated: Excellent post too. The GT3RS is rarely cross shopped with a Lamborghini as the first buyer (P) is generally an enthusiast, the second (L) an attention yearner.

I resent that. I have more Porsche knowledge than probably 99.9% of people here and hate the misinformed statements some members make. Am I a huge Porsche fan, youre damn right, and for good reason. And unlike most who like to opine on them, Ive actually owned several and have owned a 911, Cayman S, and Cayenne models and have a lot of seat time and experience with all their models. I think hands down they make the best cars in the world from the Boxster to the Cayenne to the 911. I will always admit that.
