I did not like paying over original MSRP on the car, but I got a little over Original MSRP on the trade. The car I got is CPOed until 2028, so this is nice. The bottom line is I wanted the C2 now, not in two years which is what I was looking at if I ordered what I wanted from the dealer. it only cost me $10K out of pocket, I saved a lot on the car tax, so I did it and I have no regrets.
I guess either suck it up and buy what you want now or find a better deal.

As far as what could be worse, from what Ive gathered, some people may not like the hybrid, they might mess with the exhaust tips (might look weird) and maybe some other cosmetic things that are highly subjective, and they might make the instrument cluster fully digital which some people also dont like. Im not sure how else it could be worse. On the flip side, mild hybrid could mean more power/torque (although I imagine this will be an option on higher trims) and the cosmetic changes could be subjectively welcomed. I dont think other than mild hybrid on some higher trims, well see anything earth shattering but who knows.

Wont make the car more sluggish, simply muffled the exhaust sound.

Gas particulate filters. They are present in European cars if I understand correctly and are anticipated to eventually appear on North American models.

Thanks again @SS22, very helpful advice. Honestly, the impending release of the 992.2 also worries me. What if its better? But what if its worse? Heavier hybrid, or the other thing mentioned in this forum (which I honestly cant remember). Im sure whatever facelift they do will be awesome though.

But I generally agree with you. The only weird thing is that two dealers have told me they expect 992.2 for MY2024 even if it may not come until the very end of this year and itll first come with base/S. But it doesnt fully make sense to me because of what you said and also that after the factory closes for the summer holiday, when factory opens back up, they start producing the new model year. Why would they do 992.1 for the first couple months of production and then switch to 992.2. It just really beats me. On top of that we had 5 MYs of 991.1 so it would be a shift now to only do 4 MYs of 992.1 (although Porsche has been doing 4/3 MY lifecycles for the other models so maybe).

Missing: Leather seats and dashboard. Deviated stitching. Torque vectoring. And yes, bigger turbos for more power with an M Engineering tune.
I didnt build this car. It was at port when I passed by the dealership March of last year. They said get this while you wait for your allocation. You wont lose much in your trade 😥
