True ... But, I don't think I'll switch to the new tranny when it 1st breaks cover. Yeah, if you have a Tip, well ... never mind, eh. Maybe you'll let your mother drive it, eh?

Anyway, I think that Porsche is all about manual tranny's.

I tho't about the e60 M5 and M6 .. .but, SMG is not my cup o'Mobil One.

If you can't shift it ... and even if it be faster than a manual ... buy a Caddy. And who really cares?

I don't understand the 'shiftless crowd'. I guess a Buick is in my calendar year 2028. ?? I hope it has GMs DSG.

I wouldn't be surprised if the cosmetic upgrades are a little more different, although then again, the 911 had the basic look for almost 30 years, so maybe they're thinking that it's a fresh design that can last for some time.
As far as power upgrades - I'd say probably in line with the power upgrades to the carrera we saw in 2002. A few horsepower.

That's the facelifted 997, not the 998.
