Thumbs up Need some help Differentiating between 2007 2008 and 2009 Carrera 4S

If someone could give me a clear break down on the differences between these 3 models. (I had a 2008 Carrera 4s - and want to know the differences prior and after the 2008 model. I am looking for a new vehicle and debating a good model prior or a model above the 2008 range.

Any useful feedback would be appreciated. Thank you

Also, '09+ = DFI engine, 385 hp versus 355; engine is lower in the frame for better balance and front end has less hop. Cosmetic differences too. LED brake lights, driving lights. Brakes may have grown in size. That I don't remember.

This press release on the .2 highlights the changes introduced with that model.
