Don't get me wrong: I **love** my 996 and think it's beautiful. But for some reason, I always think 996s look a little frog-like in the face. (I had a boyhood fixation with frogs and toads, so that probably says something ....)
They say owners and their dogs tend to look alike..................... It looks like your frogs and cars look alike..........
When I drive my C4S, it looks like I am in the middle of two very sexy legs... driving hard
Actually, when I became interested in the 911, many enthusiasts told this 'story' that the designers were inspired by the facial anatomical features of the duck. It may or may not be true, but once I was alerted to this( I owned an 85' Carrera at the time) I tended to agree. The 85', and models before an after look evenmore like the duck than the later 996 due to the big rubber 'smile' that is mounted on the bumper as well as the protruding fender mounted headlights give this strong general comparision to the features of the duck. Anywho its been conversation piece with woman I 've dated who comment about the looks of the 911.
I think the earlier models look more like a frog than the 996.
a 928 looks like a frog
[QUOTE=ghostwriter11;5243406]Don't get me wrong: I **love** my 996 and think it's beautiful. But for some reason, I always think 996s look a little frog-like in the face. (I had a boyhood fixation with frogs and toads, so that probably says something ....) Just my opinion, but I think the 996/997 cars are way better looking from behind. Thats okay with me, its the view most people get anyway. --Woody
yes...yes they do look like frogs. except for the aerokits, gt3's and turbo's. (and the cayenne is a toad). fin.

Do I see a resemblence? No. But I'm thinking that the observation you made was made while you were "under the influence."
The main difference is that the 996 does not taste like chicken.
it totally looks like a frog
A frog that can hop 0-60 in under 5 seconds....not bad, not bad at all. Ribbit....
mine does for sure... it's green .
I have a new mod for you...

I have to agree- yes- with ben
The 911 has always had frog eyes... I'm not the only one I've heard refer to it that way.
Quotes source post: 5243645
Full agree - the 964 is commonly known as the frog eye model.
Yes, it reminded that when I was young 25+ years ago, people around me called 911 "the frog"!
�Does the 996 look like a frog?� Perhaps, it looks like a frog(if you are on drugs). Personally, I think it looks like an awesome sports car.

I can't put my finger on it, but this car does seem to resemble a frog. LOL
Only that the frog doesn't appear to have bi-xenons. That was an option that came with the AmphibianTechnics Package. Otherwise, yes - which is why green is not the best color for a 996.
So so funny, when my wife and I were looking at 911's at the dealer that is EXACTLY what she said about the 964 & older 911's (hon, those cars look like frogs all lined up) ...she (& I ) liked the 993 looks the best, but the drive in the 996 over the 993 was so obviously better, and it doesn't have near the frog look that the others do..especially with a C4S or turbo front bumper cover.
Confucious says "Better to look like a frog, than a Volkswagen!"
is it THAT hard to admit that i actually say things that are spot-on? at all times? if not for the history, marketing, circumstance, timing, etc.... the 911 is not a good looking design. it is what it is today and it's a great looking car and has a special place in the automotive world.
To me, the 996/997 bears a striking visual resemblance to the amphibian not only from the front, but also from the hind-quarters to the rear. It's the same squat and stance, but I do love it!

LOL, Frog eat beetle.
The biggest toad of them all, though, is the Nissan 350Z. Neither the 911 or 350Z are lookers without mods.
