Just think how many electrical switches you could take out with one spill/jarring,.....parking brake, three different sunroof buttons, seat heating and ventilation. Not to mention it draining around the nubbin holder.

Why couldn't they simply just put a nice leather covered sliding version that comes out the right side of the transmission hump? Something you simply push in when not in use? Make it an option. My lord, they gave us the passenger hand-cuffs, certainly they can think up something better than this.

Now I want a 992 just for that old school 911 font - I'd model delete the mismatched font for Carrera though and just leave 911 centered under PORSCHE - hoping they keep that as an option.

Sometimes it's the little things.

They oughta just use the space for an unobtrusive LCD panel that lets you choose from a variety of logos or P-emoji . Or better yet lets you enter your own.

They should have put "992" just to watch heads explode.

What this car really needs is a "911" license plate frame.

I’m way ahead of you. You can change the emoji whilst motoring. Depending on ones mood.

Agreed. We don't know that this is the actual typeface yet, but either way, it sums up my thoughts on the 992 exterior and interior changes: An amalgamation of old and new design elements that just doesn't really seem to work too well.

If the brake "button" works as It appears, it's a push/pull type of thing that everyone is using. That space at the opening of the cup holder leaves room for your finger to pull.

Resembles the 911 50th logo.

Model designation delete for the win. Hopefully they offer PORSCHE in black to blend in with the bar thing like they do on the 718 GTS.

Just put Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera GTS, in script *or* maybe just the 911 in block as on option. The mixture of font's looks a little stupid to me.

Whomever is overthinking this stuff needs to get a life.
I kinda like it.

Ironic, though, that when someone doesn't like a particular thing, someone is screwed up, overthinking it or something else, rather than just realizing there are many, many other equally valid opinions and tastes out there.

Of course, I'd delete the model designation, too, so there is that.

PITA for cleaning... sponge and little dirt get stuck by the letter. model delete is the way to go IMO
