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

nicely done....the red top is quite unique and elegant how is the new "wind screen"? the manual one on my last one, and on my current M3 convertible are a pain

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.
