Great find, the car looks and sounds amazing. The more I read (or in this case watch) about PDK, the more I'm tempted to weigh it in as a factor for my next purchase.

I like how the tail lights look at night, kind of like the DB9s.

Try prefacing things with "In my opinion" or "I think" These are after all opinions. I think the new tail lights are not as attractive as the old ones and find led's to be harsh. See how it works.

thanks for the link.
im torn with the lights issue. i think they look ugly but the advancement in technology contained is positive. why cant we get both beauty and cutting edge.

that gearbox looks impressive but no blip on downshifts from what i could hear and come on with the buttons guys

Aren't most intelligent 6speed members taking the above as a given that 99% of what we type here are opinions and not facts? It's redundant.

Anyways, LEDs are a proven safety benefit and they clearly modernize the car. It gives designers added flexibility in designing the physical package and is the way of the future.

Get over your incandescent lights. They will soon be dinosaurs on cars. It dazzles in a great way and all this coming from a 996 guy (which I think have better looking rear light packages than the 997s).

I love Autocar's reviews. The purest TV/internet reviews out there.
