I think this car will be a nice seller for Porsche. I like it.

I am wondering what the 998 will look like. I thought that it would essentially look like the 997, but have V-8 power (hence the "J-LO" rear). Might it be a completely different car??

Anyone out there hear anything about the future model 998?

Will the Boxster (roadster & possible coupe) continue? And, if so, will that design change anytime soon?

A 3rd, front engined car, is rumored as well.

For Boxster, expect a new car next summer. No coupe for at least a few years.

if you aren't looking for a new set of features I would opt for a 996 C4S. The front air dam of the 997 reminds of the 959 cars. Bringing over interior components from the Cayenne may be a nice touch. But, the current C4S has my vote until the 998's come out.
