    What new 997 are you talking about? Have you seen pictures? Can you post what you have seen?

    Wow not bad. What is that bump over the rear light in the back? Is that a backup camera?

    Now that would be a very smart move, it would give much better look to the 997 front. Rear lights also seem freshier. I think the 2007 997 will look sharper and more agressive than present model, althought the present model is already a great looking car.

    I agree the current 997 looks great and the refresh doesn't appear to take away from that.

    MY07 997 looks exactly like the MY06. Facelift is a little ways off before seeing it on a dealer's lot.

    Facelift would be MY 08 and MAY be an early release spring/summer of 07.

    the new design kind of resembles the 996 rear trunk...if you see closely it includes a small braking in the middle of the rear trunk something that existed in the 996..

    Re: 997 Restyling

    what's interesting is the line of something (circled) which connects to two brake lights.

    The third brake light is in the same place (under a louver/slat)

    That nub above it all is an unknown; maybe a spray cleaning nozzle for back window on cab?

    Antenna/"wiper"at lower right is probably to communicate between mules. (?)

    Maybe that "nub" is an elusive satellite radio antenna!

    I think the rear view flows better in curves and proportion than the current 997.
