Don't know why there's been so much fuss over the light bar - comparing it to Lincolns, Kias, etc. It's not a new thing on a 911. I've got one, and I love it.
It just looks so... unfinished. I kept telling myself it was a placeholder for something much more polished. Then in this most recent video the 3rd brake light showed integrated into said spoiler, and now it's tough to keep deluding myself.
Yes, this is what I pointed out in an earlier post:-) In my opinion, I'm not convinced that the final car will have 2 "third brake lights". It seems a little much:-)
I was watching a Jay Leno's Garage rerun last night from 2016 with Jerry Seinfeld as a guest. They were showing off three of Seinfeld's 356s and eventually took a drive in the mountains in Jerry's (late 50's IIRC) Speedster. As they're discussing why Porsche's are awesome cars, Jerry comments about the minimalistic beauty and how there aren't any extraneous lines or busy-ness to the design. I don't think Jerry would feel the same about that 992 design.

For months I've been reading your comments about the spoiler thinking it's not so bad, it will be ok in the final version. I've finally come around and admit that you're right. It's so clunky and inelegant.
Just yesterday I found a dealer who still had an allocation for a 991.2 C2. PLaced an order for a new .2 because I believe 911's should be elegant. And the 992 just doesn't feel that way to me - that rear end just doesn't do it for me.
I also don't my 911 to look like a small Panamera - and it's beginning to feel like the 911, Panamera and Macan are all converging. The 911 should be special and distinct..

Congratulations, I recently did the same.
When is your expected delivery date?
That actually looks fantastic in white. And i'm sure the third brake light will be revised before the full reveal.
This sold me. I'm holding off on 991.
looks GTSque with black trims all around ... without the spoiler up, it doesn’t look that bad, imho.
definitely don’t want the 911 merging with Macan/panamera...
