and I despise the throwback 991 block script from the 911SC, combined with the cursive script it just looks WRONG..... wtf is wrong with Porsche's designers, after a really nice 991, then this thing ?

 

I watched until the end hoping they'd have Maria join the conversation.

 

I'd only be interested in watching Maria and Sorana Cirstea do each other, not the clown show I saw last night

 

I'm no traditionalist and am generally willing to judge things by their own merit. Unlike many others on these boards, I do like the exterior appearance of the 992 for the most part. I think the light bar looks a little odd, but otherwise I quite like it. Is it better/worse than the 991.2? Eh, I need to let it marinade.

I do, however, find the interior appalling! And it's not because of the digital gauges - like I said, I'm no traditionalist. It's not even because of the Brawn shaver - I think it's cringe-worthy but probably something I can get over. But the dash design is horrid! What's with that shelf?? The whole thing looks like a cheap 80s car.

 

First we heard this ....



Now we're at this stage ....



Are real production videos and pictures not enough??

 

LOL, As they panned back and forth across the crowd, I kept seeing in the shadows this long, long pair of uncovered lady's legs. I thought "I bet that's Sharapova". I even said it to my wife, who rolled her eyes and went to sleep. This morning, I told her "I was right, it was Sharapova" and she just kind of groaned and walked away.

 

Same here.
She never did. And she looked bored.

 

STG, I was joking!

 

Yeah, I figured

Just funny hearing all the expected responses!

 

Is that the woman in the front row who was on her phone the whole time?

 

Listening the Mark Weber on any of those Porsche videos just turns my stomach. He comes across so phony it's hard to even watch.

 

I'm surprised the ignition is still on the left of the steering column and not a button next to the nubbin

 

Great example! After that stage we will hear " just wait till it's been in your garage for a few months, it will grow on you" followed by " just wait till it's parked next to a 991 in a few years..."

 

Apparently there is NOTHING next to the nubbin on either side. All that plastic is just dead space.

I don't know what drugs they were on when they came up with that console, but I'll bet they were very economical ones, obtained through aggressive bargaining with the lowest-bidding supplier. Probably out of Asia.

 

Now it REALLY behooves you to order the Manual.
