Why would MT list the estimated base price at $148K...?

Price increase!

Maybe they really meant estimated as-tested price....

@Mike in CA -- I hope you're joking about the price increase!!! PUSA website still showing $130k base...

As tested makes sense...

Good article... Makes me want to hear the engine at 9k rom, and also feel what it's like to steer the car. Can't wait

It'll be an absolute failure without a manual option. What was Porsche thinking? No one will buy it.

Article is glowing, but upfront about how (for example) the steering is much better than in the Carrera, but still off the 997 GT3.

Overall, I'm finding it very difficult to manage waiting until February (my estimated delivery date)...
