Doug,
I think that none of us knows exactly what changes are gonna happen, but we know from the pics that there are changes coming. I believe more than just cosmetic imo.

I didn't need a spy shot to know that changes are coming - changes are ALWAYS coming. List list the facts that we do not know:
  • what the changes will be, cosmetically - we've only seen spy shots of test cars
  • what the changes will be, if any, in performance
  • when the changes will take place
  • if this will be a 997
  • if this will be a 998
  • if there will be a price change
What DO we know? Porsche is testing some mules. That's it. Waaaaay to much freaking hysteria.

dmz is infamous around these parts
If it's anything like the 996, then we should expect a bump in displacement in the engine as well.

i'm just surprised there's no sign of any factory side skirts design yet.

Maybe they are thinking about differentiaing the models the way they did with the 996...full red strip across back decklid, different rear bumper, etc.

crude ps:
