Looks better. I like the rear end improvements.

Funny that they decided to show the automatic vs manual version. Sure, thanks to the improvements in autos (DSG etc) they are far more likable but really, am I alone in thinking that 3 pedals and a stick shift just makes pictures of the car more appealing. Even if the auto is reality the manual is still for me, the version with the emotional appeal.

I couldn't see the difference until I put two pics side by side. I love 911s, but new models just aren't that exciting.

Maybe it's marketing driven. I suspect they sell more autos than manuals in the 911.

It blows my mind that Honda hardly ever makes a sports car but that when they do they're hardcore enough to only limit it's transmission choice to manual. See: Civic Si, Integra GS-R (and Type R) and S2000. Whereas Porsche offers than auto for everything

^ That's because Honda doesn't make any good Auto transmissions. From a performance standpoint PDK>MT and conventional AT<Everything else...
