No more TT's after 2008?

Just read somewhere else that some dealers high up told a customer that there will be no TT's after 2008...The Cayenne will be Porsches only turbocharged car. I think BS. This guy also says there will be some other engine development to replace it....but Porsche is being VERY secretive about it....anyone have any info one way or another?

I doubt they would go through the trouble of developing the next face lift for the Turbo if that was true. http://www.leftlanenews.com/2008-2009-porsche-911.html

Flat 12 + direct injection should do it.

My dealer told me 2009's 911 will be called 998 because direct injection and more hp, plus facelfe. So 2009 will start base coupe and S, then 2010 will be 4S, cab, etc.. may be turbo, but there is a good chance no turbo in 2009

They will probably stop production for a little while to switch over to Direct Injection engines and maybe a small face lift.
