Wait. That's funny. Maybe because it's the dedicated "bashing" thread started by YOU? And you keep posting pictures and memes. People gravitate to blogs to complain usually, not give accolades.

How many have actually even seen a 992 let alone drive one?

Looks like Stout posted a well thought out thread on the 992. I plan to read it tomorrow with coffee and a protein bar.

If you've spent time reading here, won't take you long to read his. Could have had it finished by the time you spend looking at the posts here since you're so interested.

So you're telling me, people will gravitate towards disliking something they actually like?? That's funny. Don't see any threads how much the 991.2 GT3 sucks do you??

This 992 has a lot to be desired. No need to actually drive it.

Everyone has their type. No need to take her on a test drive for me.

It does suck! Because they wouldn't sell me one! I called them as soon as they announced it would come in manual but it was too late.

You don't get any GT3 threads complaining the cars suck because people don't dive them. It is still rare to see one with over 10k miles on it. To most owners they are just status symbols sitting in the garage for affirmation. You can't bash a car that was purchased for affirmation rather than driving.

I hate the 992 also. Not because of the changes but because it reinforces my belief of how much time I waste on various forums reading stupid comments.

I don't have a problem with turbochargers, less noisy engines or nubbins. If I don't like a car, I just don't buy it. It's not that complicated. I have quite a few car and I don't spend a lot of time bitching about what I hate about each. I certainly don't bitch about cars I don't own. That is really stupid. I'm more inclined to appreciate what they do well. I guess if I were afraid to put miles on my car, I would feel differently sitting at my keyboard.

Carry on with the whining....

i suspect that might have something to do with the fact that the 992 SUCKS.

The lease on my Macan is up soon, next thing I'm likely getting is a JEEP.
How about a CLA AMG instead? 375hp, and 700lbs (yes that's right) lighter than a Macan.

Move the heavy politics to an off topic so this thread doesn't get closed.

I must say, we must have been the first ones to coin the "shaver" PDK shifter term here. Has spread everywhere.

Thanks for posting. There’s some interesting notes in this article that I did not realize. This article nicely dovetails the article that I posted last week regarding the Chinese market. Also, I think it underscores something that I been thinking when reading through the forum posts lately......some people don’t realize that the US is not the only important market in this Global economy.
