There was a link to a few early pictures of the new nose - and a subsequent discussion - in a previous thread some time ago: Nose discussion.

They're referring to the next 911; the 997's replacement in 2011-2012...not the 2009 997 facelift.

I wonder how the internal code numbers are going to work. After 991, they'll be 992 and then what? 993 again?

Alan, you are right, I know, but the "nose issue" is the same... that's what I was referring to. Let me change the link name to avoid further confusion...

(Remember Merlin "aged" backwards) We'll be going from 997 -> 991 -> 985 -> 979 -> ...

After 15 generations we'll be back at 901!!!
