I will say, and has been mentioned, even on RL there was a lot of whining about the old cup holder. I thought it was fine. It's supposed to be sports car, not a mini van. What next, a small fridge under the dash?
They must have had soccer mom consumer focus groups that didn't understand the current cup holder. |

Everyone always initially hates the new 911 variant, drives one, and then is like "WOW, great car". The same story will happen for all future variants.
Said everyone on every car forum ever. I actually just read the same quote, more than once, in the BMW forums for the new 3 series and the X5. But sadly, it doesn't always go that way. I never warmed to the current 3 series except in M3 form. I think it looks very plain and cheap. Sometimes it's not all just internet drivel. |

this thread tho... 10/10

I'm new to the word "nubbin" and want to make sure I use it correctly in a sentence. Would it be correct to state: "The lovely lady in the picture has no nubbin". |

Exactly! We are holding onto our E90 until something better comes along. I can't stand the outgoing 3 series. Always has looked, felt, and driven terrible.

Well, I’ve already put cash down on the 992 GT3 - and I don’t even like it - yet. I’m certain I will and don’t want to miss my place in line. |

New is always better in mechanical engineering (and girls). Don't obsess with old cars, please. |
Joining just for the fun of it... The horizontal metal shelf looks great to stick dancing emoji figurines, a waving Chinese fortune cat, and a figure of St. Christopher to protect us on those dangerous track days. Or, being it a Porsche, should that rather be St. Christophorus? Classy! |
Amazing how often this happens on every new 911 launch.
This is rubbish, that's rubbish, they should have done this or that. Don't like this curve, or that. Don't like turbo's etc etc. And then many of us are first to jump onto their order book. Including me by the way :) |
Digital gauges suck.
Fake exhaust tips are weak. Fake ignition key thing where you're not actually turning the engine over yourself is bad. Fake engine noise pumped through the stereo is shameful and has Ferry and Dr Ferdinand and every Porsche boy that was ever born a free man roll in his grave. One inch longer sucks. 21" wheels are too big and look silly. You need big gulp cupholders in a 911 as much as you need an accordion to go deer hunting. The tiny little shifter looks cool on a cruiser like Panny or RS7 or M6, but it's a pain to watch on a 911. Hybrid and electric is the absolute puke and the final ultimate demise of the 911 ethos. |
