    I think it is bad news. I can't understand how Porsche will not bring out options that we want like Sat radio and Bluetooth. The price increase is common as everyone seem to go up on price.

    This is the change I'm "waiting" for.

    The one which will totally date all our cars from 100 yards.

    The pointy-oval stylistic thing is almost completely played out. A few 2006 cars have already lost their overstated pointy "flair." Nissan Z taillights already look ridiculous.

    Kinda bothered me that Porsche would put these trendy tailigghts on our 997 in the first place.

    My bet it they'll be GONE in 2008 (if not 2007!). BTW, you don't see them as emphatically pointy on the Cayman or Boxster released a year after ours (hint).

    I couldn't open the link, but the change I would like to see the most is the LSD option sold in the US.

    "The only changes coming on the 07' 911's will be the addition of Meteor grey as a new color, a $1200 price increase and the TPMS system will be standard."

    Spoke to my dealer today, my 07 997S2 Cab will be 1,400 more. He's keeping the discount off list which we negotiated for the '06 I thought I was getting.
