I heard the 992.2 was absolutely going to RUIN the driving dynamics of the 992.1. And sound like crap.

It seems to have grown bigger again. Is this ever going to stop? Roads, last time I checked, seem to be staying the same size...

As people have been saying for years, 991 was the PERFECT size 911. All others before it were too small, and the gargantuan 992 has grown too monstrous to even be considered a car at all, much less a sports or GT car. It looks to me like it's meant to be used as an airport shuttle or to ferry kids at posh daycares to class field trips.

Amen. I love my TechArt 993TT but it's admittedly small for someone 6'1". (And my 6'7" buddy looks absolutely ridiculous in that car.)

The 991 is roomy without any excessive space. Absolutely perfect.

I heard it was a sporty "people mover" and could "comfortably seat seven adults"

Dammit! I found a leaked interior shot of a test mule. In my colors, no less. Looks roomy, at least. Manual still available.
