Yup, I came to the same conclusion in my post #57 as well. This new video makes it look even worse. Good news is if you buy one you'll never be the one that sees the rear view - just do group drives behind a different model.

I like and respect Chris Harris' reviews though - if he says it drives well, then good for Porsche for not ruining that aspect of it too.

Same. My 997.2 GTS will outlive me and then hopefully my son will love it as much as I do.

So the chick rides nicely but she's fat and ugly.

Enjoyed the irony.

Same here.
