no changes on 09 other than a few interior things like new PCM etc.
I do believe it gets massive, ugly side mirrors though thanks to some new German regulation?

I wonder they will change in for 2010, or is this the end of the production run?

the led tails are coming, along with new engine and exhaust tips, 2010 would be my guess. You may also see no turbo for 2010 and late production of the new engine or early 2011, anyones guess.

I do not see Porsche in a hurry to get cars into the US in this economy / dollar value scenario.

Expect the facelift fascia for '10, along with block change from GT1 to something else, and probably a TTS version for '10.

short of sounding ignorant about engine, that is the current engine, correct? you order yours already? Does it come with the same tail light treatment as the 09 facelift Carrera? It did not mentioned LED tail light in the order guide.

So the new engine MIGHT be out in 09 as 10 model? Do u mind if I asked if you get a break on the cost?

The dealers only have allocations through January 2009...That would lead to them changing the turbo...new led's, engine etc...I heard first part of 09 the changes will take place with 25-30hp bump
