Thanks for the link. Nice to see that the Cayman is finally here. It will be interesting to see how it performs on the NS. As far as the look is concerned I like the front end for the most part but think the back end could have benefited aesthetically from a higher rounder rear end something like the CGT. But then I’m no aerodynamicist.

BTW, I'm sure there will be a aspirated version of the 997 with the looks of the Turbo... you just have to see the great success of the 996 C4S to know it's necessary...
Thats not a picture of the C4S, thats just the regular ole C4.

WTF :cry: http://www.auto-motor-sport.de/d/83608

a short summary of this article in english for those of u who dont speak german: according to a statement porsche is planning its 4th model line to be a real family car. it's gonna be long enough to have a 3rd row of seats, and in height it'll come near the Cayenne. It's gonna be similar to the Mercedes R-class, and according to Manager Magazin it could be launched in 2008. The decision will probably be made in july. Coöporation with other car manufacturers is likely, because the costs of around 1billion euros is too much of a risk for a small company like Porsche. Volkswagen and Audi would be the most likely partners...

to porsche of they do this

The 996 C4 had a different front nose than the C4S, thats the difference.
