Walter Rohrl is someone at Porsche who is highly respected and worth keeping an eye on , like most people his age, he's fed up with all the buls#it and now openly speaks his mind. Re recently bashed the Taycan (and deservedly so) and very honestly expressed his opinion about it's MANY shortcomings.

Decided on a 991.2 as soon as I knew the rumors/spy shots showed more touch screens for the 992 ... such a bad HMI idea for a “sports car” .... the 991.2 will be closer to automatic movement while 992 will be closer to a precise quartz one.
i think the 991.2 will be sought after since it’s modern without going over to the iPad world for key function.

from this article , “It would have been nice to keep the kerb weight where it was, but at the end of the day all those mod cons and the beefier footwear added 20kg to the tally.” ... so roughly 45 pounds to the regular 911.

do you actually think you will notice that additional 45 pounds?

"Then there’s the new, fancier three-part pop-up rear spoiler – thanks, Panamera."
All the pics looks one part. Maybe wishful thinking.

FWIW I thing the 992 is stunning. Why limegreen is on this vendetta I do not know. Limegreen you maontain that you want an open dialogue perhaps hoping that people will agree with you. Are you upset that the majority don't agree with you. Why exactly do you feel obliged to respond to nearly every post? You asked a question - it was answered, although not what you wanted to hear. Statements about why a center console. Really? Where do the shift cables live otherwise?
I'll let this thread go a little while longer but I am inclined to send it to the dumpster as meaningless noise and a deliberate attempt to create controversy and dissension.- in other words a troll thread.
Regards.

The spoiler is mentioned as a 3 part pop up so maybe thats to be interpreted as 3 different positions based on driving. For example, maybe under heavy breaking it’s at its highest point like an air brake, highway it’s at its lowest for high speed stability and then there an in between for more spirited driving. Not sure, but just guessing. Some of the spy shots show it pretty high at points. Also, I’m not sure how the Panamera spoilers all work. I’ve seen the turbo one, but they all aren’t like that. I also don’t know about the 991 spoiler, did it have multiple positions or was it just up and down depending on speed? My GT3 just had one position 😉

The review was written by Georg Kacher, who I would consider a pretty reliable journalist.

I don't think so looking at this pic:
