Am I the only one who hates the trend towards flat black plastic lower bumper inserts? I guess the idea is to have it look like a race car diffuser? I expect that this will be on all 2012 911s, so I will keep my 2008. After five years or so, I fully expect it will be gone and folks will ask "Why did we ever think that was cool?"

Interesting treatment on the rear valence, in that it wraps around the exhaust pipes.

Saw the car @ the Cayman R unveiling Wednesday night and the black valences, in conjunction with the black CL's worked very well. It seemed to make the car look lower, and I think that it had the stock suspension.

UH-OH. Same (excellent) dealer where my GTS is on order has a Turbo S and I'm actually thinking of getting it figuring a new 2011 911 Carrera Turbo S in the garage might just be better than a GTS in January or February. GT Silver Metallic, Stone Grey interior, grey top.
Any opinions?
