Pretty interesting all the gessing here at Rennteam.

Mr. Wiedeking gave an interview to the German magazine "Capital" a few month ago and a time table of future sales by Porsche AG. Looking at this forecast, the 997 is going to be on the road in Germany at the end of 2004 and will come to the USA as an early MY 2006 in the spring of 2005 (March/April 2005) - you guys remember the introduction of the 996 - in Germany in Nov./Dec. 1997 and here in the USA in April 1998 as an early MY 1999 - history repeats itself at Porsche - nothing new.
The 997 will first arrive as a Coupe, six month later as a Cab and then the rest of the models over the next years.
