Nice in theory, but the aero upgrades are largely the reason for the controversial styling on 992.

I do have to agree that the 992 models, in general, have grown on me. I would not say I like them better than the 991 but they have done a good job with the new model line-up and I like them equally-sort of.

I think the base 911 and Cabrio look better than the 991s but still prefer the .2 GT3. Reason - prefer the .2 Wing, which looks like it was sculpted with the car than attached. Plus- not a big fan of the nostrils but the front and rear of the cars look good..
Hey- I ordered a 2022 GTS Cabrio so I better like the way it looks

Are actual allocations out for the GTS?

I still prefer the looks of the 991 generation to the 992. But I have come to like the 992 enough to buy a new GT3T.

IMHO, the 992 is just not as attractive as the 991 and I sold my 991 GT3 and C2S so I’m without a modern 911 at the moment. But after looking at prices of 991’s, I just can’t justify spending nearly the same for a pre-owned GT car when I can spec one from the factory.

Yeah, I’ve been hoping for those for years (was shocked and delighted when they returned for the first time since 1973 in a road-going Porsche in the Speedster and .3 RS and now standard GT3)
