Default Why no 992 reveal at the Paris motor show?

Maybe they read the 992 forum and are making tweaks? Wishful thinking.
More likely timing or regulatory issues.

Good one...I know what you mean. And when it does come out we will need the Moderators to be on their toes and ban everyone that starts comparing it to the 991 - there is already a 992 forum.

No offense meant to anyone but there are 991 and 992 forums for a reason - should I have said it with a smile?

I will be in LA for the reveal if it happens there. There are press days prior to the November 30th public opening so it'll probably be unveiled on either Wednesday or Thursday prior to that date.

Maybe the dealers asked for a delay so they could keep charging ADMs for the .2 GT cars?

It was never meant to be released in Paris.
