I know what you mean...

That video has been posted by Porsche and I assume it would've ended up here one way or the other...I didn't know it requires extra steps. Although I thought it's a good idea,I'm always open to find out about new driving roads.

So now in just a few weeks and before anyone's even got one the "model" that's really an options package is now a whole "community"?

Anyway, instant collection of awesome roads, PM Hojo8, he has a route all the way around the whole USA!

Going to the Sun road in Glacier Natl Park, while not the best driving road, hard to beat for scenery. Only open a couple months a year, large vehicles are banned! Despite being such a popular destination, hit it at the right time of day there will be no traffic and you can FLY!

or inspired (at least as perceived within the company) marketing?

They are after all a for profit organisation, with a global brand, what do you want them to do, apologise?

Right. And somehow it "fills the gap" between the S and the GT3. ??? Because it comes with X51? Then why didn't the 50 "fill the gap". Oh wait! I know! Its because of the Alcantara! Yes folks, the cat is now out of the bag, the real reason the GT3 is so great: high performance fabrics!

Yep I hat that FB crap too, but it is only needed for saving your own routes, commenting on them or stuff like that. You can just download an app on your smartphone and look at and drive the routes without the need for FB login ...

Understood -- I've been there.

Some others stay there permanently.

I don't do the social media thing either for too many reasons to list. You need facebook or the like to share the routes with friends?
