Is there some problem with a large displacement engine? Do you not like torque?
Are you being intentionally obtuse?
A toyota corolla serves as transportation. The Lincoln is a luxury vehicle that meets its goals very well in that its quiet, comfortable, roomy, large trunk, etc.
To me, how well a vehicle meets its goals. Just like you wouldn't say the lincoln is a bad car because it cannot turn out .9g on a skidpad, you wouldn't say a 911 is a bad car because its rear seats are suited only for double amputees.
So then you assert that the mere fact a car serves as transportation makes it not-rubbish. Interesting. And by interesting I mean sophomorically inane.

Hmm, well, let's see...you've a government willing to wage wars in order to assure the citizenry a limitless supply of cheap petrol. And displacement is a simple solution, one well within the capacity of American engineers to design, American workers to build, American mechanics to service, and American people to drive from one pedal-to-the-floor stoplight to the next. So, no, no problem at all. 
The more the merrier. One never knows when one may need to pull a tree stump out of the ground.
Actually I was trying to talk down to your level of comprehension, but evidently I'm still aiming too high.
No doubt room enough up-front for Tony, Paulie, Vinnie and Big *****, with space in the trunk for a couple corpses and several shovels. Clearly the perfect choice for New Jersey.

This has become tiresome due to your complete lack of even attempting rational thought.
so with that, enjoy your generalizations and have a wonderful day.

Give me a break!
If someone makes a comment about, oh, I like 991 exterior, or interior without driving it, fair enough, but to have opinions on every aspect of the car compared to 997, for someone who hasn't driven it, is just trolling.
I am not even in this debate anymore, absolutely no value. Some like 991, some don't, and those groups can never agree and that's the bottom line for me. All I know is that I cannot take advantage of full capabilities in my 5yr old 997.1, and until I do, an upgrade is a moot point. These cars are just enough and in most cases too much for 90% of the drivers!

Well, what I referred to specifically was having an "opinion about...incessant and ridiculously repetitive comments and complaints about rear deck lettering, parking brake levers, or center consoles ", and I do, unfortunately, have first hand knowledge of your posts......

"barbs" while keeping tabs on what is obviously a booming and time consuming "practice", not to mention the army of your "colleagues" nationwide who are out at your request investigating Porsche dealerships for evidence of 991 sales.I should let you go....have a nice day.

C'mon Alex, you're a bright guy, this isn't that hard. If someone says that they grew a 3rd leg, I don't have to know anything about medicine to call BS. Some of the discussions about the 991 versus the 997 are silly and repetitive, as discussions . It's not necessary to know everything about the cars to figure that out, although people like myself and others are certainly informed enough to offer an opinion. It's not just about the cars. Get it?
