Mark my words, this is going to be one of the biggest design flops since the runny egg yolks.

Right now, I’m also a no.

Nope. I can't stand cars that require you to look at the console to operate functions like radio, climate control, etc., with the only alternative being to speak commands to operate said controls.

I'll keep my 981 and 991.2 GT cars with honest to goodness buttons.

Hard no. I'm so very glad I was able to custom order a 991.2 GT3, do european delivery with her, race the Ring, and I'm very happy that she is in my garage now.

The 992 GT3 is much much uglier inside and out, the interior will look dated just next year, power increase is minimal, and while the suspension is certainly improved, everything else about the car took a big step backwards.

To add to that, I was really turned off by dealer games, ADM, and needing to beg for an allocation last time around. If Porsche wants us to jump through those hoops, they will need to show us a car far more impressive than this one.

With 2 girls in college, I won't upgrade. Don't think I would anyway, with higher prices, plus what looks like even higher ADM's to come, it's a huge turn off. And most importantly, I still love my 991!!!

I think the new looks are pretty bad but with the .2 tweaks and in an RS flavor, there could be something good.

If i didn't currently have a gt3 i'd wait for the 992 touring. I think without the wing and weird front bumper / hood vents it would look pretty good.
See I think it looks better- wing especially. Subjective of course.

I appreciate certain design elements of cars I purchase and keep for a long time. I love the gauge cluster on the 991 and the tail lights. so much so that I am considering getting a GT4 for daily driving.
I am ALL IN on the 992 GT3...

A BEAST

Now if I can only find a dealer to take my 991.2 TTS off my hands by end 2021 / early 2022.

Try driving around in a 991.2 GT3 with guards red gauges and SC clock...red seatbelts, red wheel pinstripe...and I hate excessive red.

I'll gladly take a 992 GT3 beast, self-specced, baseline black tachometer, carbon buckets, PDK, and big *** wing for the ladies to enjoy. Don't forget the shark blue.
