To those holding out for the 991, I'm sorry.

It's got a formidable rear overhang, doesn't it?

Looking forward to seeing what the new PDCC (and, I assume, PTV) does to the handling on the 991 S.

This looks to me to be a pretty significant upgrade - looking forward to driving one.

In the meantime, this looks to me to be a nice job from Porsche.

The US website now has the english press release with pics:

Looks pretty good, but having the word "Porsche" blazened across the back and the Panamera styled sloped center console, is going to take a little getting used to....

Mirror attachment arms painted body color $500 (code XL5).

Interessting. Im not a big fan of the center console. Too much like the Panamera. I think I'll stay with my 09' C2S and wait to see if the 4.0 become's standard engine in future models. Anyone have any input on that?

I guess there's no stopping progress. )
Will need to see it up close, but for now I'm even happier with the 997.2 in the garage.

Amazing results. I love everything about it. The badging? Easily remedied.
