I’ll probably be in the minority with this, but I’m not a fan of the styling of the rear half of the Speedster.

I feel unworthy.

Even so I think these are somewhat foolish Porsche cars. Brand comes out with a great car, has all of the goodies most Pcar drivers would want, not over built but more of a 911R touring cab and then only offers it to a select few of invited premium customers.
What? What about the loyal Porsche customers who have purchased multiple cars? Why the hideous mark up? Instead of getting excited it's just frustrates those who have been here for the brand when all things weren't rosy.

Meh. Not as attractive as the classic coupe lines, ~50lbs less torque than a current 991.2 GTS/Power-kit. Base at twice the price of a very well optioned GTS. I’d rather spend that kind of $$ on a Turbo S.

Speedster = snooze fest. Another parts bin special at the end of an era.

Even easier honestly to not really want the cars, they are only adding more size and tech. Will be interesting to see how the 997/991 do post the 992. We already know where the 964 and 993 went haha.
