First pic reminds me of my 993 interior.

Hopefully good opportunities for retro-inspired touches in CXX interiors (e.g., tricolor seat centers a la 964 RS)

Hehe took a lot of hard work and gratitude, just trying to do things the right way! Very fortunate position to be in that's for sure and I try to pay it forward however I can. Whether you have a "base" Carrera at age 70 (people seem to forget this is still a $100k car LOL) or a GT2RS at age 20 we are all very very lucky and I'm happy our passion for the 911 transcends generations

Seems wider than current 911 maybe with 21" wheels.

Yep, as per my comments above, I believe that some 992s will have 21” wheels, at least at the rear.

It will be a real shame if they drop the narrow body. I think its more of a classic/retro look and less chunky than the widebodies.

Even the entire body of the car can't fully hide that ridiculous spoiler.

Owners of the 992 should get used to hearing...'hey buddy, your trunk's open...'

I agree it’s good to have the choice and I’m very happy with my ‘narrow body’ Carrera T. Still seems nice and curvy & shapely to me!

Blue and orange cars look good.

Not really a fan about that trim piece running across the front bumper, but a small complaint.

Still TBD on that strange 3rd brake light.

Yeah 911 is overpriced, but it sells. Most of the automotive market is overpriced right now, from sports cars to SUVs, but buyers have shown they are willing to pay. E.g. Ford Raptor went ~$50k 1st gen to ~$70k 2nd gen, with typical options. For a gussied-up Ford F150. Manufacturers have raised prices and the buyers thusfar haven't flinched.

I'd love to see BMW build a real clean sheet 911 competitor instead of just juicing up the 3 series. But apparently this is cost-prohibitive, too risky a proposition. The 911 is unique in the market.
