But the Porsche is definitely the way to go. Just make sure he waits for the 2009 models to come out, because Porsche is giving all their 911 models a significant refresh. This refresh will include a revised front fascia (deeper air intakes), revised rear bumper, revised taillights (slimmer, more futuristic looking), revised center console (less tiny buttons, bigger screen), and the two most important things: increase in power (30+ hp, 15+ tq = 385 hp, 310 tq), and the introduction of the dual clutch transmission.

BMWs are amazing but their is no substitute for Porsche especially a brand new Carrera S that can handle twice as well as the M5, give near equal amounts of luxury, and match, if not beat, the M5's acceleration numbers.
Wow, that sounds really awesome. So it would be a 911 of the model year 2009, meaning it comes out towards the end of 2008? Or does it actually come out in 2009?

thanks
