the only way Porsche will spend the money to remove the hole is if sales are very soft. Since they are commited to a RS with a hole that is through 2008. All 997s will have a sunroof in the U.S. Either buy one or wait for the 998

Perhaps the '998' vehicle in question in this time period is the 997 'facelift' or 'refresh'....Panamera rear LED lights, slight nose/lights tweak, infotainment change.....still a 997 though. Similar to what is about to happen to the Cayenne.

who said it was coming in two years?
roberga just said since the "rs" has a sunroof, so the sunroof was in thru the 2008 model year.

The 997 will be face-lifted just as Itc said and as far as the 998, if you're complaining about the 997 being soft then you're gonna really not like the 998! This is based on rumors from within PAG.

You're kidding right? I've got a question. How do get over 1400 posts in 8 months? Man, I wish I had that much free time.

yeah!
that's why i responded w/ above.
as far as post count, that's about the oldest, lamest, and most unoriginal, cut on post boards.
say ten seconds a post (doesnt take that long on avg) 1400 x 10 = 14,000/3600 = 3.89 hours total posting in 8 mos.
maybe you're just slow.

I think your reply is more damning than the criticism. : |

Dude, that's 7 posts a day, every day without fail. To me, that's a lot of posts in comparison to other forum members. To you, it's average. No problem, you have a lot to say. Some of us would rather read. It was not intended as an insult. Lighten up. BTW, I do not see any ROFLMAO in your origninal post regarding the Gt2.

and i'm a voracious hard copy reader.
