Porsche to drop MSRP on 911?

Actually, Rolls Royce has an auto tranny that is synced with the car's GPS system so that the car can anticipate what gear to be (either up or down shift) depending on the curvature and incline/decline of the road.

Yeah, it's a BMW technology that they (BMW) started implementing recently across their range. Not sure if it works well or at all, as I haven't seen many people comment on it. Sounds kind of odd considering the Nav's in those/these cars are sometimes so inaccurate that the last thing you'd want is it assuming it knows what kind of roads you're on and how to adjust accordingly.

Oh and +1 on: no drop in MRSP to be expected, but perhaps nice packages on runout models when they move to 991.2.

I think well see better features standard, which would be as good or better than a price drop. Better steering wheel standard, more two tone interior options standard (like the Macan/Cayenne just got), possible deviated stitching standard (they choose the color, if you want something different then you pay current rates) etc.

Squirrels are a big interest in many college campuses nowadays. Many colleges have websites dedicated to their squirrels, such as these:

Some weeks ago, I had to drive my cousin from O'Hare to Notre Dame, and she begged me not to kill any squirrel with the wide tires of my C4S. Squirrels were all over the campus, and they didn't seem to fear people. Some students are said to keep them as pets and to don them with cute hats and outfits.

Cloud comments start about 5:45, and at about 9:30 specifically shows how they use cloud downloads for track settings.

What gets me is that it's a zero cost item for Porsche. If anything it might be slightly more expensive to color match exactly but whatever. I can see black interior having black stitching standard, though I'd prefer pebble/agate/etc. But beige absolutely needs a brown stitching, blue a gray stitching and platinum a black or dark gray. Wouldn't cost them one penny and would add a much higher level of finishing.
