Like every previous generation, there will be complainers that Porsche ruined the 911 with the latest generation. Some of you are guilty of it and display your displeasure vociferously on this forum. And, like your predecessors, they were wrong then and you are wrong now. But don't take my word for it:

You get the same predictable "complaining" with every new Ferrari, Corvette, Mustang, and Miata. It seems to be a challenge for people to pick out one feature and declare the new generation a failure.

I skip those posts.

I actually like the new electric power steering.

Porsche ruined the 911 when they released the Cayman.

That, along with the four grand extra 'hybrid' automatic transmission, and the Lexus style PCM.

No. YOU ruined my day. Every time you post something that delicious avatar comes with it . . . and all I can do is . . . look!

To be fair, I don't remember any complaints at all in the era of the 964 -> 993 changeover.

But yes, people who moan about 'electric steering' when virtually everything else affecting steering feel has also changed in the 981/991 generation have always perplexed me.

Very good point op !

Noah - You are kidding here. Right?

The wife accused me of looking at **** the other day when she caught the JB avatar as she was passing by...

No. What were the controversial issues in the 993? Additional weight?

SanibelSpeed

It wasn't as good as the 996 which wasn't as good as the 997 which wasn't as good as the 991, ad infinitum. Would you want the 911 to stay a 993 forever and not evolve?

As I recall, there were complaints about loss of road feel, steering too assisted, took the driver's skill out, body too smoothed out, loss of character...It was a great improvement from my perspective but typical reactions to change and improvement.
