Wonder what the GT cars will look like. Same except for the center console movie theater display? As alluded to a few pages back, the 997 GTS could go down as the next 993 S.

Spare tire

Sunroof delete? Was that an option?

Rhetorically, what does it say that the only thing that anyone has come up with so far is a spare tire (and perhaps the steering wheel)? Was the 996 really that awful?

Less curbweight. A more authentic flat-6 aural experience for the non DFI cars?
