That is true, that 308 is a neat little car and 18 is a bit of an exaggeration but there are so many neat little cars. The 911 and GTI are some classic standouts that both punch above their weight.

Well the 911 is a unique vehicle. A little over priced for what you get considering the competition though. With turbocharging becoming the norm these days. The competition is closing in on the 911. The market is ripe for the front engine 4 and 6 cylinder turbos. With trickery like RWS, Torque vectoring and multi speed transmissions. The competition is right on the tale of Porsche. Even a car like the VW is circling the Nurburgring in the 7:40s

This does not make me happy. Porsche builds perhaps the best 911 at a reasonable MSRP but doesn't build nearly enough of them to satisfy the overwhelming demand. This makes me respect the brand a bit less, and most certainly does not engender loyalty. I also despise the games that Porsche allows dealers to play. I don't care what the car sells at in the secondary market but don't allow dealers to engage in price gouging. I would feel better if Porsche just increased the MSRP. This is a giant brand detractor in the long run.

Wow, you've been spying on me! I feel the exact same way -- I just never want more than one car for each "role" in my life. I've tried keeping two sportscars and the one I like less just sits for weeks on end and then gets driven out of guilt.

Sportscar/semi-DD: 991
Off-road adventure/Semi-DD: Wrangler Rubicon 2-door
Pickup: Pickup (who cares what kind it is? )
Cruiser: 68 Cadillac Convertible
Smokin'-Hot-Wife's SUV: GLC350

I like your list but want a hot hatch for an errand runner and a S class ( my 5 series is fine but we're talking dream list) for highway cruising.

NoGaBiker

Yeah, if I could talk the wife into swapping the GLC for an E350 I'd be happy -- don't need the S-Class size living in the city. But she prefers the SUV, and to be honest, it is the most comfortable car we have and is easy to travel long distance in.

But sure, if I were making a dream list out of my actual list, I suppose I'd swap the wife's ride for an S-class. I'd keep the 991 and the Wrangler; I'm getting tired of the Cadillac so I'd probably swap it for a mid-to-late-sixties GMC pickup, and then I'd not need my crappy 94 pickup, so I'd use that garage slot for... Hmmmm... Probably a Fiat Dino Spider. But I think I'm too lazy to own something 40+ years old and foreign. With a Ferrari motor.

I love the S Class too. Only I prefer the back seats.

I'm pissed at mine. No spare tire, "No season" Turanzas terrible in the snow, no good choice for a run flat snow tire, cavernous back seat (which I'm never in) and a very small trunk for the size of the vehicle. Plus, Homelink doesn't work at all on our gate and I have to be within a few feet of our garage doors (the service manager came to my home and said "can't do any better"), the Mercedes Me app is atrocious and now the remote start isn't working at all ("they're having a glitch; give it time" - it was 6 the other day) and the ventilated seats simply don't work at all as far as I can tell.
I always wanted to try one and now I have. I will say it's very fast for it's size, comfortable to drive on dry pavement (except for the noisy run flat tires) and feels very safe.
It will be gone well before the warranty is up and my next DD will have at least a mini spare.

I mean, even if they built a more entry level 991R without a Magnesium Roof, carbon hood, but with the suspension bits, 6MT and maybe the 3.8 from the GT3. It would MSRP around 140-150 and sell like hot cakes, but one can only dream.

Hurricane

So true! Heck, if they built enough "R's" as it is, they would would have like hot cakes now. They intentionally limited supply, hence the crazy markups on used ones.

All 991 cabs have magnesium roofs

As does the ultra lite Targa model.
