I attended Detroit Press days for another mag but being a 997.2 owner, I just had to go see their press conf & sit in the new 991.
Here's a video I threw together, I not very good w/ them but you get the effect of the 991 cab's unveiling.
My overall impression was one of a much more luxurious feel. Not ready to trade, but maybe I'll change my mind when I drive one.
Below are some pics I took myself. Outside of car is an evolutionary step. Cant say that for the interior, its a quantum leap.
A few shots from the front

I think porsche had the song made. It doesnt show up on shazam & the mp4 is only 2:24 long that was in the press materials & doesnt list an artist. I love it too! Song was as loud as a rock concert at the press conf.

(To do it yourself you need to put YT in brackets in front and behind the YouTube address (but only grab everything in the address to the right of the "=" sign)

Here are some interior shots from the coupe - Note how cool the PDK looks in it.

Note the 7 speed stick shift! Looks kinda strange sitting so high in the console IMO
