I know, it's just crazy variations of variations. Mercedes just came out that they are reducing product lines and variations.

Not at all.

But a GT3 with rear seats and no wing is not at all comparable to a TTS.

agree, if this car gets the same 4.0 NA engine going in the .2 GT3, and has the option for the same 6 speed manual as the R and .2 GT3, then it will be
1- nothing like a turbo S 911, which is turbo, PDK only, AWD, and very heavy.
2- quite desirable for all the drivers out there who crave a 911 with a NA engine and a good manual.

until we continue to exhaust production of every possible 911 body combination they throw at us like rabid crackheads.. they will continue throwing stuff at us... why stop?

Yet another edition of a 911, just means less allocation of other variations. Some are near impossible to get now, why add more?

After thinking about it, I don't care anymore what Porsche does with the GT cars. Buying a car shouldn't be this much trouble.

It's a slippery slope. Starts with "Food Inc", then "Forks over Knives" and the next thing you know your reading How Not to Die and subscribing to Rich Roll's podcast.
