Wow. Looks like Porsche reads the forum. Addressed just about everyone's complaints. Wonder what that new key looks like.

I knew they would add that red bumper strip to the c4s models, they looked naked without it imo.

I just hope they give us decent looking steering wheels.

Cream White is similar to Sand White (Cayenne color). It is more yellow and definitely less attractive than than Cararra White

So, does anyone know what Aqua Blue looks like?

Also, does this mean that Cobalt Blue is no longer available at all? That is fine with me since we have a Cobalt Blue turbo cab. I wouldn't mind if it was a little more unique.

When everybody has keyless go, seems Porsche is just getting to keyless entry. If that is what "new key" means.

Aqua Blue has actually been on the books this year, but not offered. Not sure it's a 'grabber' like Cobalt or Midnight. What I've seen in that range is quite light, more toward Azzurro.

i really hope that porsche gets their act together with respect to engine design and construction. can't believe that the 997's still suffer from RMS issues. i have been lurking in the 996 forum and you can't imagine how many owners have suffered engine failures due to the IMS issues. some some these guys have less than 15k miles on their cars and need to have their engine replaced, and to top it off some of them do not even have warranties anymore. that is why i am of the opinion that these cars need to be driven and not some garage queen..

in my case i purchased a porsche because of its history in motorsport and performance capabilities. bluetooth, satelite radio navigation ect is nice but it would not be my deciding factors for purchasing this type of car. sorry for the rant but needed to express my opinion.

i'm sure the new car will be beautiful, but i would be looking beyond the aestetics and gadgets.
