Anybody Getting Postcards of 997 From Porsche ?

I have just gotten 3 this past weekend from them with pictures of the 997 S. I must admit it is much better looking than the 996. That said I don't think I will be getting one, unless they drop the prices about $10K-$12K like some people are getting on the current 996's. I think 355 hp would be the minimum that I want on a car that I will be dropping $80K+ on. I am really against what Porsche is doing here in regards to upping the hp and charging us far more. I am glad the 3.8 will have 355 hp, and a fatter torque curve. At least it will be in the same ballpark as the new Vette.

3 so far.

Agree that the price is too high (lots of alternatives out there now for same or less money) and those wheels gotta go.

Otuside looks great, but the interior is a big disappointment...
