Same here, I've only seen one other...my dealer has a full stock of them so I suspect with a slow economy, the big ticket items don't sell very quickly...explains why my dealer stepped up on my trade (2009 997.2 C2S Cab.)

Interestingly enough, when I'm on a country road near my house, if it's a 997 or 993 going the other way, they'll flash their headlights or wave. When it's one of the other 991's, there's no recognition. It's a bit like when I had a 993 and driving the same road, the same other drivers would flash their headlights, but if I was in the 996 GT3 or the Boxster (they look identical head-on) there was no recognition. The "contrarian" in me decided "from now on, I'll flash every damn Porsche I see! I'll look like a damn fool doing it, but damn the torpedoes! Dammit!" : )

The biggest fool was Zuckerberg for only selling half his stock when the going was good. I've seen this happen so many times, including to me when I floated my business. Nobody's immune from bad calls.

I don't know who'd be crazy enough to drive one regularly in Manhattan...truth be told I haven't seen many here either. I can be seen driving my 991 usually on the east side and most often on weekends making my getaway from (and return to) the city on the FDR. That's enough to raise the adrenaline and anxiety level anyday!

I don't know why some feel the need to conclude Porsche 991 sales by how many they see on the road. I know it's a criteria,but it's not like the 996's and 997's flooded the streets of Manhattan before.To those who comment they don't see them in Manhattan I have a piece of advice : get out more! Maybe I'll start taking pictures every time I see them and post their license plates here so that people believe it.
Most of the ones I see are dark colors,like black and such...don't know why...
