Ditto!!

Or just may be they are redefining their interpretation of what they think will be the future of a sports car.

But I am not selling out until I have no choice

This post is stupid. You do realize that Porsche had to do this correct? It's not like they woke up one morning and decided to throw a hybrid where it didn't need to go. Look at all the upcoming high performance cars from BMW, Mercedes etc and you will see they are all hybrids for the same reason.

Am I glad I have a 992.1....Yes I am, but this is the only way forward for these cars.

I think the new hybrid 992.1 GTS is fabulous but it has one big flaw-it ain't got no manual!

I don't get how a Turbo guy can call the new GTS stupid. They're both build with the same ethos. More weight, more power, more tech. Except the new GTS has a huge advantage in the fun department because it's still RWD

With every reply he posts his car... oh look I have a Turbo...

To put things into perspective for you, a typical refrigerator weighs between 200-300 pounds, so 500 pounds would be like the weight of approximately two refrigerators

FYI, The average truck weighs between 5,000 and 7000 pounds, unless you consider the compact a Hyundai Santa Cruz to be a real truck.
He didn't reply to my post about the weight cause he knew he was wrong

People also ask

What is it called when you can read words that are jumbled?

Typoglycemia can refer to to the phenomenon in which words can be read despite being jumbled

If you're saying technology replacing old school car systems (manuals replaced by PDK for example) then you'd be best served to look at Ferrari who haven't built a manual since 2012 (13?) and they surely don't look like they're on the downslope of anything.

I'm thinking I will pass on this latest 'EHybrid' technology for now but I respect others who want the newest greatest thing. I'm sure it is blisteringly fast. Porsche makes great cars. I'll plan on enjoying these dinosaurs with their manual transmissions in the slow lane.
