Looks like the front-end is going to borrow some styling influence from the Boxster by "rounding" the turn signal and the side intakes into one integral / organic opening.

 

Same here, the 997 is the best of the 996 ande 993 with something special to make it standout. As for the pics above i dont like it.

 

I like it but keep the LEDs for non-german cars.

 

im not feelin the rear end at all, the headlights are cool but thats about it

 

Dont dig the rear at all...

 

I'm a bit upset about missing the 09 boat by a few months, but overall, I think the only change I really wanted, would be the possible DSG transmission.
More HP would be nice but I think I'm comfortable with the 355HP.... for now.

 

how can it be a 2008 when the 2008 997 has been out since Nov. of 2007? Its a 2009 997.

 

I think he might mean late calendar year 2008 (Sept 08) which we know as the '09 model year.

 

Like i said "Its a 2009 997"

 

Not bad...I like it...

 

Well, I got a call from my dealership today telling me that I can't have my Porsche by June due to the special color order and Porsche being unable to meet that deadline. Its either choose a new color and get it by June or wait till fall for it... I'm waiting till fall and of course it gets bumped to an 09 model (yay!).

The actual news is that my salesman mentioned that they were receiving training for the PDK units. I hope this is available across the board for 09. He didn't say it was certain but otherwise... I still remain hopeful.

 

I would be excited about this.... if this is the update I would have no desire to sell my 05,,,, hope this is the finished product or close to it!
