I think they have the direct injection technology as intro'd on the new Cayenne... should be better power/torque, fewer emissions, mor economical...
It seems the 996 values are going to be forced even lower once the facelift 997 has been released. I remember a thread a while ago about early 996's going for as little as £13k. I didnt' think I could see it happening, but now I'm not so sure.
I'm picturing the Max Power brigade doing donuts in my local Tesco car park on Saturday nights in a 996. It's on the cards isn't it?

i doubt it - chav's wont care what model porsche - so long as its a porsche - they could quite easily pickup a older 911 for peanuts - if they had the brains to look...
that said - for 13k i'd buy one just to batter around in rather than the van...

Looks like tape to me...so maybe not that different to the current one except they will be LED's.

No that early.
The updates will not come on stream until 2009 model year so July 2008 production for September '58 plate deliveries.
Changes that I know of so far are;
Rear lights to LED type
Direct injection
PDK/DSG gearbox to replace Tiptronic (at last!!)
Bluetooth telephone prep (at long last!!)
Navigation module to be made standard-but with an increase to cover all the cost!
Minor trim changes
New colours added
The 998 however will be along for the year after-so 2010 model year/2009 delivery-or the year after those.

Completely agree with Wattie. In those pics, from one angle it looks like a Crossfire, and from another (the rear) it looks like a beetle. The chrome reminds me of a bling OTT Bentley (for people who own oilfields or really dont have taste). Bum to that.
