Maybe a used boxster Spyder, new cayman s, or boxster s. The 991 was too aloof for me. Maybe a 997GT3.2 with 5 lug redo. So far Porsche still makes a car the way I would. And, you can still go from the showroom to the track.

Probably and reluctantly. I love the cars but detest the brand's corporate culture. The arrogance towards loyal customers is hard to swallow imo. (IMS fiasco, My poor car thread for references). For the next car, the 991 feels like a modern version of the 996 to me so I'll pass, hoping for a 991.2 that cleans things up like the 997 did for the 996. I'll look for a late year 997 variant next, not sure what though.

Actually I love mine. The new version was presented this month but I wait to see how it is before deciding.

Maybe not... I may just keep this one indefinitely. I'm still enjoying what I have.

Yes, because I can't sell my S (first love) and I NEED a 997.2 GT3RS in the near future!

Yes, my wife took my car for a drive yesterday and LOVED it! Though we need a proper 4 seat car and we will be seriously looking at the Macan when it arrives though i am very weary of first generation cars......

Yes.

I'm jonesing for a long hood hot rod and a Boxster at some point. No desire to "upgrade" the 997 - well, maybe to a GTS.
