    Some new Facelift pics of the 997

    I've gotta thank Rennlist for these and I hope they don't mind me hosting the pics rather than link directly. Sorry if you have already seen them.

    Tailights still seem covered by body coloured tape at the bottom...

    It should be in showrooms this Summer. I imagine new orders will already be the face-lifted cars. Nobody should buy the current in-stock model at this point, unless it is heavily discounted, $10-15k discount.

    Re: Some new Facelift pics of the 997

    Look at the rims on the white one... Will these be the new design? Not my cup of thea I think...

    You're probably right, looks like they're trying to "justify" this new tail light shape by reiteration.

    I suspect those are the new Carrera S II rims.

    They are calles Carrera IV wheels and IMO they look nice.

    BTW, I guess that is the new cream white?

    The top picture must be the new 'cream white' colour listed.

    Yes. Good for German Taxi...

    IMHO that Cream White will be popular in USA only...
    I hoped that new Lavagraumetallic from Cayenne Turbo S will be special color but, Porsche decided that Nordischgoldmetallic and Cremeweiss will be special colors...

    If it's very close to Caffee Latte, Cream White will look stunning together with cocoa.

    Thank you very much guys.
    I think that I shall wait to see the car first and then will order a cab, as I have to admitt my wife was right that a convertible was the best of both worlds....

    Best,
