It's not even a model. The Carrera is a model. All the rest are OPTIONS with badges!

Whats the big deal.... its a nice Carrera 4 with a lot of very nice options for a good price...
Whats not to like ??

+1. It's just not a new "model" but rather a new trim.

Dr_KarlB

.... but im sure we could send in the "taste police" after a few of the 'unique' option and color combos seen here everyday ;-)

rijowysock

Sorry...but I don't se what the big deal is. So they've added AWD to the GTS trim package. It's still a 911. They are, after all, in the business of selling cars.

It's the notion that this is noteworthy that gets people's ire up. Read their materials and presentation and seriously...**** off! Trim package, option package, whatever is fine. They are insulting the die hard enthusiast with proclamations of performance and meaningful distinction. I drove a GTS recently...you're fooling yourself if you think it's 2% different than a base Carrera...sorry...

Maybe they (PAG) don't care as much about the die hard enthusiasts b/c they make up 2% of the people who buy their brands. "They are, after all, in the business of selling cars."

Sounds like it will basically be a 4S with the X51 package..

Yes same as the GTS, still though it's a better bargain if your adding the options anyways.

It's pathetic marketing. Pathetic marketing cheapens a brand, regardless of the product.

How far did you drive it..?

Dr_KarlB

Really ??

To 99.9% of the population its just a Carrera.... do most people even know what an X51 kit is anyway ?? or LSD ??

To the people here, its a Carrera with a lot of nice options, for a good price.

6 months to a year, no-one will care anymore anyway.
