I'm totally with you, it's like adding insult to injury. Not only can you not have the sweet H6 anymore, you have to put up with an ugly black bar of shame on the back of your coxster now.

i would not be surprised if sketches of a 993 (if that's what its called) are not already on the drawing board (or CAD CAM), the time required to develop a new model was reduced to less than 50% once CAD CAM was perfected since a lot of the R&D and other testing can be done via computer simulation. I would expect that next model to a ground-up all new concept like 997 vs 991. GM is supposed to be bringing an all new mid-engine corvette in late 2018 or 2019, so Porsche will have to up the ante too. http://www.caranddriver.com/photo-ga...-corvettes-dct

Interesting! I'm not saying I hate the wing, but my first thought looking at the resulting arch in the rear wing was Mitsubishi too... even before I read STG's reference to that. It reminds me of some of the spoilers I've seen on the 3000GT and the Eclipse models over the years... here are a sample from the Eclipse at a similar angle... some of the newer models were even more arched:

Yes, give us the option of a 3.6 TT or 3.8 TT. Unless they want to take the 3.0L redline to 9000 rpm. Much easier to do with a 3.0 vis a vis a 3.8 or 4.0! That would be interesting!

There will be an optional hybrid model along with the other variants.
They won't all be hybrids. Expect more Turbo charging. NA is dead in the street Carrera's and the GT cars don't have long either.

I'll believe a hybrid when it's actually shipping to dealers...they said that the 991 was made larger than the 997 to allow a hybrid option, but that obviously hasn't happened yet. Plus with the way political winds are blowing these days, I imagine there won't be the same regulatory push to make all cars hybrids...
