997 news
My dealer just called me to propose me to go on one of those Porsche organised trips in January.
This one is in Finland, ice driving Cayennes and 996, sounds great but expensive. Anyone has done it?
Would you recommend it? I'm considering.
Also, on a recent trip to Weissach, he saw the 997, no camouflage driven by a Porsche employee. He saw it from behind and as soon as the drive saw my friend was looking, he drove away, but he saw it, lucky b....
Basically, it's weird because all he could tell me it that it is at the same time more curvy but also more angular than the 996, yes I know, weird.
But very different though, definitly not a restyling, the difference is obvious, not like 996 version 1 and 2, the 997 is more muscular and aggressive.
He admitted there is some 993 in that 997.
Also, he told me that the exhaust pipes are square. just like the 993 second generation
And he's been confirmed that it will be officially presented at the next Paris auto show, that's in September 2004
Also interesting, in France sales breackdown as followed:
60% cayenne
35% Carrera
5% boxster
Voila,
Fanch.

) so they have to milk their current products as much as they can for profits! But with the hint RC is giving us...the 997 must be a stunner! Am I right RC? You know more about this than you are telling us?! Have you seen the real thing?
What the !$@%! is that! At least Porsche doesn't cross over product lines. But I guess VW believes that since the R32 is an enthusiast's car...people will by it regardless of whether the new Golf comes out or not. Porsche can not do that though because all of the Porsches are enthusuasts cars!
