Question regarding 991.2 model transition to 992s
Signs are pointing toward the 992 being released as a MY 2019 edition. If that is in fact the circumstance, do all 991.2 cars get replaced with their 992 variants at the same time? Or? I am trying to decide between pulling the trigger on a Targa 4S now or in a year. My preference would be in a year to allow any bugs in the top actuating mechanism to be sorted out, but that may not be an option.
Thanks in advance.

Just my 2 cents, unless you are dead set on the 992 for whatever reason, I would try and find a suitable 991.2 Targa4S if I was in your shoes
Life is short and there will always be something newer down the pipeline. Also the 992 spy shots are fairly polarizing to date, especially with the interior re-design
I would look into if that is something that appeals to you or not and make a decision based on that...and Dennis is spot on that a Targa 4S would not be part of the initial 992 release if following custom

Don’t wait. Even a 996 is fantastic. You’re missing out.
also, the targa design is not new with the #2 cars. They haven’t changed anything in the top mechanism since the #1 Targas. The only difference is people with the #1 cars use their targas more to internationally hear the outside and #2 owners keep it closed...

Can't go wrong with either a 991.1 Targa or 991.2, I consider all of us fortunate if we are able to have a 911 in the garage. The turbo'd 3.0L engines are amazing in their own right IMO, just as the 3.4/3.8 991.1 engines are awesome in a different way.

However also knowing that even if I wanted a 992, the GTS variant was going to be a few years out.

I keep my .2 down. It does sound good above 5000 rpm. In sport plus its got a good sound. My kid still prefers the 997s though!

I don't think there will be a 2019 991.2. I'd go for the 2018 991.2 Targa. New allocations are nearly impossible to get so you would most likely have to get one off the lot.
