Yeah, but you wouldn't buy it because of the crappy door handles.

Like a hot girl with braces on her teeth. I'd hit it though.

If your wife reads this, she will soon own a GTS, in addition to the Maserati!

Rumble Bee has been my wife's property since we got it. I'm just the chauffeur...

For those of us who are apparently still in the dark ages, what is this thread about? Interior door handles or exterior? What is the difference between .1 and .2?

991.2 above

999.1 below

The .2 is the same look as Macan and other .2 variants.

Nice job STG! Forget what car that came off of. If you looked at the two pics what would you choose?

I agree; the new handle does look better.

It doesn't look so much better that I would change my .1 handles, but it is very nice.

Like looks of .2 better. I think like the feel of the .1 better. Feels more solid.

Not a big thing I focus on, even though I'm big on details.

Some of the cheapest and practical cars come with molded door panels. Can't believe porsche went that route with the 991.1. Even the 993 has them. How many years ago was that?

I've never paid much attention to the handles on my 991.1, and always thought that they were nicer than the 996 and 997 by a long shot. But after seeing the pictures of the 991.2, I guess they do seem a bit dated!

New style looks too simplistic. No character.
