Nein Eleven

is that I have absolutely no buyer's remorse with my 992.1. 😆 I hate the tach, the starter button, the active aero, the taillights, and the wheels on the new car. This is the first time that the .2 variant has looked worse than the .1 variant that I recall. Bad for Porsche, good for me. Ha.

No "Buyer's Remorse"....I second that emotion.

You forgot the removal of the DRLs from the front bumper, the really odd 'shelf' at the Porsche text on the back, the not quite paired but oddly too close together exhaust, and the current lack of the MT.

My 23 992.1 C2 GTS 7MT may be a keeper for many years now.

Wait until you hear the acceleration figures and sound of the new engine. I give it 6 months for you all to change your tune, no pun intended.

Sooo many defenders of the Status Quo.

My XC40 will smoke most cars (up to a point), but it sure isn't a "fun generator". And having an S with the 7MT, I'm already slower 0-60 than an SMG, so the additional .2/10ths quicker 0-60 (in the mandatory automatic transmission) means nothing to me. Stoplight drag racing and engine sounds are a neat party trick, but marginally quicker and (subjective) sounds are really still fighting the law of diminishing returns.

Not saying that the new 992.2 isn't a good car, but if I was bound to an automatic, there are many other cars that I would consider. No stick, no deal. YMMV, ATMO, etc.

Superior performance, advanced driving dynamics, and cutting-edge hybrid technology, a blend of luxury and sportiness! Embrace the future people... Porsche is...

My thoughts.

• I actually like the gills on the 992.2 GTS
• However, I don't like the tail lights on the 992.2... looks like it came from P SUVs
• Push to Start button.... it looks bolted on cost cutting measure, and I'm disappointed that they ruined the heritage
• Digital meter... same as above, it gives it a video gaming experience. I like mechanical watches, I like the blue meters on the McIntosh audio - why ruin the heritage which is so important for the 911
• No manual (at this point)... might as well get a Taycan. For example, I like the experience of manually focusing on Leica, listening to vinyl, or making espresso on a manual La Marzocco machine, so manual shifting is a must experience for me on a 911
• Hybrid or anything "e-" evolve quickly and therefore depreciate quickly (look at Taycan). It has a risk of reducing the 911 to disposable models which is sad to me.

Everyone's preferences and priorities are different, so keep in mind that the above is based on my religion.

Also, since Porsche updates the chassis/design on their .1 models while carrying over the engine from the previous .2 model, and introduces the brand new engine on their .2 model, I prefer purchasing the .1 models simply because I don't like beta engines. I think .1 offer the best of both worlds - new design and proven engine.
