Models launching quick these days. This will be 1 year into the 991.2 cycle? Willing to bet the 992 is in the oven.

It's almost always the next day. GT4 and Spyder was the next day.

It's already on the german car configurator.

Depends. The GTS comes with a few things that I want on my next car - SPASM, SC, SD Mirrors, a few extra ponies and that's about it. It also comes with a bunch of stuff I am not totally in love with such as SD front fascia, altantera interior, black wheels, and CL wheels. I'm pretty neutral on the wider rear end and smoked tail lights. So...... whether or not it is worth it to upgrade to a GTS over an S is up to individuals.

As it looks now, I'd be paying a lot more for mostly stuff I don't really want just to have that GTS badge.

YMMV.

Damn. May need to add a .2 to the GTS Stable down the road. Those are two fab options.

+1
You have to go to the configurator to see how much more the GTS will be and wether it's worth it to you or not.
When I configured the 991.1 GTS it was around 145 and that was about 20 more than my configured S. Also for me, the wide body of the GTS was not a big selling point.

Same here. When I was shopping for my .1, the GTS didn't make sense for me given the interior bits, the wheel options and the wide body. I didn't care for any of the wheel choices and I'm not a fan of the wide body and would only go with it to get AWD. The only thing I liked about the GTS was the front fascia, so it didn't make any sense for me.

Archimedes, as I have read through posts over the past few months it appears you and I share many of the same opinions.

I have to ask if you are getting LWBS and rear seat delete, why wouldn't you just go GT3 or GT4?
