Porsche definitely is evolutionary in the way cars are updated. If you are a 986 owner, which is the next model up that you feel has been the most improved and you would consider trading up to?

Obviously the 981 is a huge and obvious difference, but the price tag also reflects that. Of the 987's - which one would you consider upgrading to?

For obvious reasons, the 2009+ 987.2 I think are the best after the 986 - updated engine, interior, and outside.

On a similar question, on the 987's, what exactly dictates which steering wheel it will have? I have seen a few different style steering wheels, I think the PDK 2009's have a newer style - but even some of the 06-08's have a slightly rounder wheel. Is it some type of sport package?
