What?? I like the 992. I started the damn 992 Spy Shot thread. It's going to be a nice upgrade and will be out soon. Will be the new design for the next 8 years. Anyone looking should wait for it. A generation change is huge.

At times the Forum is not for the faint of heart. It seems that you could be new to the marque, so I will encourage you to join your local PCA (Porsche Club of America) chapter. This is a great way to learn more about Porsche through the magazine, find accessories on the website marketplace, mingle with other owners at club sponsored events, and get a sense of this wide river of enthusiasts. You can get involved at the track or take club drives together. Your local dealer will usually give discounts on accessories with a membership, too.

Thanks for posting pics of your car. It's a beauty.

Ok....my mistake! I thought this was you starting a “Hate the 992, official venting, ultimate bashing”...thread. If not, my mistake! Sorry about that. Have a good one!

If you've been reading up on the reasoning behind it you'd get it. But then again, if you were reading up you would have answers to a $100K++ purchase Anyway, enjoy your car.

Did plenty of reading. I’m well aware of the reasoning, just was wondering why the 2019 was spread through 2 models. Probably my fault for not wording that way in the first place. Love my $100k +++ purchase!
I appreciate the members who answer with sincerity, especially to someone who’s new to the forum. For the folks that feel the need to be “funny” “sarcastic” “smart a__”
Thanks for making it enjoyable right off the bat! Appreciate you! I definitely will enjoy my purchase, and continue on this forum, in spite of “certain types” of condescending members and thoughts. 👍

Wouldn't it have been easier to make a quick call to the dealer to answer this question?

OP, your "clarification" above did nothing but solidify that you bought a 991.2 THEN decided to ask why the car you bought wasn't a 992. That is gold.

But they charge $250 for questions and $400 for an oil change.

The 2019 will not be spread through 2 models since the 992 will be the 2010 model. And your car, a 991.2, came out in 2017 when it replaced the 991.1. Read the threads here and you will get a lot of information. And congrats on the purchase - did you buy it in Jax?
