Why would they? Basic supply and demand. People are buying like crazy and Porsche is extremely profitable.

unless they were going to announce the facelift and wanted to motivate the sales of the existing/remaining production.

Find it extremely hard to believe; especially with rumored new engines in all 991.2s. If you are crazy enough to believe that the 991.2 S will have 520hp, how is it even remotely possible to drop the price!

price drop on current range - prior to intro of facelift/new engines... perhaps?

seems unlikely though, I dont recall this happening previously, anyone?

They are planing to drop the MSRP and will add significantly to the options list for better custom configurations. Want a passenger seat? Check box. Want sun visors? Check box. Want lug bolts?.........

Yes they are going to drop the price, and give us 520 hp. They will all be turbo's but with lower case "t" nobody buying a Turbo will notice. With the facelift automotive journalists worldwide will unanimously declare it the most perfect car ever. They'll all have G3 interconnectivity to the cloud enabling real-time steering and suspension settings downloads. Oh, and 50 mpg. Everything on the internet is true, so this must be too!

Doesn't M-B either have, or have announced a GPS based performance system that uses GPS and nav to alter/effect performance in 'real-time'???

It must be the result of gas prices going down in the States. LOL
