Default 992 Release

Not sure I know what to say, but hug my RS when it arrives. The Panamera has a big brother

Ugh ly- interior. They stole the center vents from a ‘78 Buick. And is that a shaver popping out of the center console?

8-speed PDK. Ok. Not even a mention of a manual? Or did I miss it?

looks subjective. Some good (more of a coke bottle shape), some bad (rear a little too much like the 718 Cayman which I’ve never liked).

does make me thankful I just took delivery of 991.2 GT3 Touring late this year!

Manual released later. S or 4S at launch, PDK only.

I am happy I will have a 991. Not liking the rear, interior, LED gages and increased weight.

The shaver seems like quite a large mistake.

Everyone on here with their .2s were going to go into it hating it regardless. Public sentiment is quite the contrary. No, .2 prices have not gone up $10k over night.

I was only partially being sarcastic.

That PDK lever.. good grief.

If the upcoming GT3 retains a manual transmission, I'm sure it'll be widely optioned out if nothing else because of that godawful PDK lever. A.P. and the GT team have their work cut out for them it seems.

The front view 3/4 angle looks nice. The headlights are cool. That's about it. The rear is atrocious; especially when the spoiler deploys. Sorry. I hate it.

Oh also. Notice the front seam lines for the fenders to hood and to bumper? It reminds me of 993's which have the same seam lines. The bad thing is that over time it's hard to keep these lines clean and tight. And frankly it is distracting to see them.

I like the flush door handles. I like the rear 3/4 view. I like the seats. The rest of the interior lacks cohesion. 991 is better inside.
