Sounds like that 2003 will be an "as is/no change" year.
Leading evidence: 'Replace " year' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace " year' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Perhaps some of the rumor about minor changes for '04 could be true.

Suggestion
Porsche is ready to survive almost anything the way they appear to run their company, ie development costs for the Cayenne have already been expensed and with a ROS of 13.2 percent vs GM's whatever (I forgot)and a breakeven cost of 5K Cayenne's per year out of their new plant the company looks (appears anyway) to be bullet-proof.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Sounds like that 2003 will be an "as is/no change" year.
The 2002 Porsche 911 catalog states as follows: "The subtle re-sculpting of a fender line. A few ounces shaved from a wheel. An increase in engine displacement. . . No new Porsche 911 is identical to the one that came before. There are always improvements, refinements and enhancements. And there always will be. With true passion, there is no rest. . . It's been this way, EVERY YEAR for 38 years, since the 911 was first presented in 1963."
If Porsche is true to their printed word, what "improvements, refinements and enhancements" are being made to the 03 MY 911? Or will this be the first year in 39 years that the car remains unchaged from the prior year??
I believe the following changes apply in comparing the '02 to the '03
1. Options previously bundled are now unbundled so you can get what you want without having to buy what you don't want.
2. Price
3. One new color - Dark Teal Metallic available
I'm sure there are other changes, but nothing from a structural standpoint. Perhaps some of the rumor about minor changes for '04 could be true.
Somebody had to say this so it might as well be me...Is Porsche talking about changes in each model year, or with each car that comes off the assembly line? <img src="graemlins/icon107.gif" border="0" alt="[icon107]" /> <img src="graemlins/icon501.gif" border="0" alt="[icon501]" />

Isn't that one of the nice things about "hand-built"? Every one is different.
Personally, I think the uniqueness of each Porsche is one of its great attributes. I continue to tinker with various add-ons to my Jeeps and now to my magnificent C4S.
I am relieved that Porsche is not radically modifying the 996 at a time when they are embarking on the Cayenne launch. This is a huge undertaking by such a small firm and it deserves the attention that they are giving it (whether we like the concept or not).
Eventually I hope that the Cayenne is a success to ensure the continued development and advancement of the 911 as the true state of the art sports car. <img src="graemlins/wave.gif" border="0" alt="[byebye]" />
Hey, Dave P. Did you read the article in the Journal. Porsche is ready to survive almost anything the way they appear to run their company, ie development costs for the Cayenne have already been expensed and with a ROS of 13.2 percent vs GM's whatever (I forgot)and a breakeven cost of 5K Cayenne's per year out of their new plant the company looks (appears anyway) to be bullet-proof. If the Cayenne doesn't sell they can just put a sedan shell on it. I always thought a 4dr sports XC type vehicle would have made more sense...but that's hindsight. <img src="graemlins/a_smil17.gif" border="0" alt="[blabla]" /> <img src="graemlins/a_smil17.gif" border="0" alt="[blabla]" />
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
