Nope. I guess they figure with a '15 TT and a '16 BGTS, I'm not a buyer.
And they would be correct.

I'd like to see it. All I got was the Porsche magazine with a glowing article about why the 991.2 is so much better than the 991.1. I thought it was particularly nice they had a comment saying something like "who needs a NA engine".

Aside from the new 918 wheel and maybe the rear steering there's not much I'd be willing to change

Yep. Went right in the trash. Why doesn't Porsche send me something worthwhile, like a 991.2 T-shirt?
