the nouveaux riche poseurs that will like this hideous monstrosity and think the interior is awesome dont care about wheel gaps, they just want the new ‘porsh’
I just woke up to these news. I have been a big Porsche fan my whole life, and I fear the 992 is the new 996. It features so many ugly design decisions that I cannot even begin to list them all. What the hell were they thinking?
On the other hand, my 991.1 GTS probably rose 10% in value since yesterday. Not that I'll ever gonna sell Jaws, but fine nonetheless.
The worst bads...
1. 110kg increase in weight (1555kg for 4S) according to EVO!! Ugh, is Porsche going BMW M division on us??!! I left BMW because it was becoming a porker.
2. 10%+ price increase?
3. flat ugly rear. This used to be one of the best parts of the 911 design.
4. Weight!
5. Weight!

The good..not sure.
Its not 10% unless I’m doing something wrong. Looks like an S went from $105 to $113. That’s $8k increase. And if you wanted PDK, ITS A $5k increase.
Would have liked zero personally but knew that Wouldn’t happen.
Do you realize how significant this new fully digital dash is? It's the first time in 55 years that we don't have an analog set of gauges. It's a monumental change to the vehicle IMO.

Monumental for sure, however, the digital gauges themselves aren't the issue but rather their poor integration which that actually pretty much summarizes the rest of the car as well.
Hey stop insulting the 996 - the 996 GT3, GT2, turbo and c4s are actually good looking in my opinion and are aging well.
The 992 will be my next Jag when I am a little older.
