Porsche: What's new for 2009

Nice roundup here of what's new for Porsche in 2009.

For 2009, most of the focus is on the Porsche 911, as the 997 generation gets a significant midcycle refresh. A new dual-clutch automated manual transmission headlines the changes, and direct-injection versions of the 3.6-liter and 3.8-liter engines promise better performance and fuel economy. Porsche is releasing limited-edition versions of the Boxster and Cayman, and the Cayenne Turbo S is back — this time with 550 horsepower. All 2009 Porsches get a revamped Porsche Communication Management (PCM) unit that's compatible with Bluetooth, satellite radio and iPods. The available navigation system runs off a hard drive this year.
