With the exception of the gt3rs's I don't really like their lineup. Most people will never have the experience of driving a 993 or older vintage. If they did I think they'll realise the difference.
That entirely depends on what you're looking for in your "sports car". I have driven all sorts of Porsche, as far as a '89 Speedster, and by driven I don't mean valet parking. As lowdside mentioned, the 997 for example is far more superior car in almost every way compared to a 993, expect for the nostalgic factor maybe. But that alone or the "aircooled" feeling doesn't make the new 911s any lesser cars. The 993s feel underpowered IMO (have not tried TT) but they sure are pleasant to drive.
