Here are 2 spyshots with camo, a pic of the current SportDesign package option, and one of the digital renderings that supposedly accurately shows the new facelift revised rear apron with a no longer optional diffuser. What's your initial take on this? Will it will actually offer noticeably improved aerodynamics/performance or is it just for show?

I hope my initial reaction will change with official pictures, but the diffuser, just like the Japanese looking downswing lights, doesn't fit the design of the car as a whole. It's fine that there is a SportDesign option but that's how it should stay. For me, a large part of the appeal of the '05-'08 987S design was the classic, understated lines. While the current car is going to age gracefully, I get the impression the much busier looking facelift will look dated and possibly ridiculous in a few years.
