I'm pretty sure all of us see whatever we care or want to see.

For some people GTS is a parts bin special and a marketing exercise. Newflash: so is every other trim level.

The GTS happens to be a solid combo of options at a modest price increase some of us are willing to pay. Certain non-GTS owners can't seem to get this through their skulls.

Also, my car is cooler than yours, so nyah. <-- this, btw, for those of you paying attention, is tongue in cheek.

I'm enjoying reading this thread, but it is weird as hell to be honest.

Same. I asked permission to buy my dream car. We later agreed that she now has a $160k home renovation budget. She wants to make some changes in the house and this will make her as happy as I will be driving my C2S.

Marriage is a partnership.

Does anyone really pick door #1 or #2?
Would most certainly pick door #2 as the Heritage Design Leather Interior option in Black/Cognac is SOOOOO sweet!! Would match nicely with a PTG Porsche Racing Green Metallic exterior color…

Yep, no argument there. Base to GTS are all variations of the same theme. Them there product marketing folks at Porsche know what they’re doing.

3-4 years ago a GTS got you a wide body. So HA, even you Carrera S snobs are getting shafted because it's just a base with options. Not unique.

You got more of a unique car with the 991.1 or 991.2 GTS over an S. RWD widebody.

Now all Carreras are the same width.
