Default My new 991

Well first off I nee to say this first..I LOVE THIS 991.WE bought a 2012 carrera s cabrio wht with a red top. This is my first Porsche ever.I sold my 2008 corvette Z06 and I really liked this car my wife dragged me to the local stealer ship to look at a Panamera sitting next to it was my new love little did I know at the moment. so we took the pana out for a drive my first impression was not bad for a four door lots of pep and all that.When we got back I asked about that 991 sitting next to it. the sales man said want to drive it? I paused for a moment and thought we are looking for a 4 door not a 2. He said I should really drive it. It was love at first site 5 mile test drive and I told my wife this car is going home with us. I really loved my vette but this car is really incredible I do not see my self ever owning another..

Somewhere, a Porsche marketing executive is doing a fist pump. This is exactly how Porsche intends to increase sports car sales - by catering to the Panamera and Cayenne customers for replacement of their 'other' cars.

I'm not a fan of white to be honest but I think this car looks great. Love the roof color, and you selected the perfect wheels too (same ones I have on my basalt black coupe). Congrats! ...and more pics pls including interior

Cole,
I test drove the 911S 991 cab and the new auto wind blocker is awesome. I never tried the old manual wind blocker but the new one significantly cuts wind swirl and is a breeze to use

I never considered the cab but i am going to get a cab over a coupe

That is a beauty! I think Porsche hit a home run w/ the 991 cabrio, styling is killer.
I'm on the list for a new TT, but if something changes, I will get the Cabrio S.

Very nice. I really considered getting a red top on my white car, but I opted for black instead. I'm not changing my mind, but the red top looks great. Unfortunately my estimated completion date is June 16th, so I still have a long wait until the car arrives sometime in July. Seeing pics of all the fantastic 991s helps.
