The performance oriented owner will opt for the RWD. Drove both before deciding on the RWD and did not notice that big a difference. I have a winter package on my C2S and it handled everything a NY winter has thrown at it so far.

As far as the wider body .71 inches on each side..barely noticable. Get a white or silver car and it will look wider than a black or dark colored C4S anyway.

It's more about the curves than the actual width.

Forgot to mention...one thing I didn't like was the change in the rear light on the C4S extending /connecting the left and right brake lights.

I definitely don't like that rear light either. It seems Porsche changes the headlights, fogs and tail lights a lot. Is it every year? It's a little annoying.

My model (07 targa4) doesn't have the "bikini strap" going across the rear end, like the 4S's........but I kind of like how those rear light bar differentiates the models. Also, the badge above the bikini strap kind of reminds me of a "tramp stamp" or "target tattoo".

BTW -the blue 911 in that animated movie "Cars" has a tramp stamp.

You know where my head is.

Yes, the light bar reminds me of the top of a bikini thong strap... and the badge looks like a tramp stamp. Love it.
These are the closest two pose i could find on the net.... Is anyone willing to shoot their white CAB 4S from the same angle?)

(..and, thanks, Danica. )
