... and if so why ?

Let me elaborate. I have never visited the 964 forum (the successor to the 3.2), never visited the forum for the model that preceded the 997. Yet I frequently visit the 991 eventhough I have no plans of getting into one. I can't explain why ? Is it because of
1) Curiosity (then why not for a Boxster spyder or a Cayman R or a Panamera etc)
2) Positive reinforcement that I have the right car for my needs/taste (my 997.2).

I've owned several cars and rarely if at all visit the successors section. But it is just different. Probably anything new is exciting when it comes to a 911. Are you in the same boat as me and if so why ? I would love to hear your reasons.

 

It's something new, something different, with a fresh set of topics to discuss and controversies to wrangle over. I like looking forward more than looking backward, so even though it might be a few years away, it's always fun to imagine my next car and especially my next Porsche. And no mistake, many of the folks complaining about the 991 today will find a way to convince themselves they need one in the next 5 years. Make mine a generation 2 991 GT3 variant in red (or maybe yellow).......

 

OoH Mike, so you want to go for the lady gaga of 911s next time ...

 

That's funny, Amar. The difference between your 3.2 and 997 is hugely greater than that between the 997 and 991. Compared to the 3.2 you already own a Lady Gaga of 911's. It's all relative, my friend.

I imagine you're done with new 911's because I don't see Porsche marching backwards with their product line. Too bad; I think there might be some interesting rear engine Porsches just ahead.

 

I actually like the 993 forum... Old school, mechanial, drama, etc...

 

I obviously come here too . When the 991 was first announced, i really didnt want to like it. However, unfortunately i do. I think Porsche has done a tremendous job. I do not think i will get one right off the bat, too much $ for not a big difference to mine. But, i can see getting a .2 if they bump the HP, upgrade other stuff etc.

You come here like me, probably because there is a chance we may get one Although we dont need one per se.
