The tech changes for me with PDK, Sport Chrono Plus, LSD, Sport -20mm PASM do it for me because I enjoy going to the track. The new 19" Carrera S wheels looks great in my opinion but my wife likes the turbo wheels better still.

I did not see the "shift up" light mentioed, I have it on my saab and hate it
I wonder if any of the upgrades will be available for the current model, I like the lights that move and the IPOD connector

Nice subtle changes inside and out. It is a Porsche, so hard not to like something with the same DNA. Not sure about the bigger side mirrors, but that's a nit.
I did notice that all the cars had clear side markers.... which is good (european models only?).

Hi lgascoig,
I see that you are in the Bay Area too. I talked to my salesperson George at Porsche of Fremont, he mentioned that around September they will see the first cars arrive. If you want to order your car, give Georage a call. He is a straightforward person to deal with.
With best regards,

Thanks axhoaxho. I have been working with Carlsen in Redwood City since it's only 3 miles from my house. He told me that, "I'll let you know" when they're ready to order. But I don't really care when they're ready to order, I care more about when it is possible to order. I haven't been entirely happy with them and if they're jerking me around at all I'd pull my deposit in a second and go with someone else.

So can someone explain to me exactly why the -20mm/LSD option has been available in Europa this whole time and not here, when Porsche was obviously planning to offer it with the 09 "upgrade" the whole time? Ummmm......did I just answer my own question?
