I currently have a 997.1 C2S with Tiptronic but my next car will be a Base model 718 Cayman with 6 spd. I test drove a 2017 Cayman 6 spd from Park Place Porsche (Dallas) and I really enjoyed the the car. It is somewhat of a downgrade in the sense of status but the performance numbers are in par if not better than what I am driving now.

With all the time I spend watching TV shows about custom cars I got my dream car. Kind of a GT3 tribute since I love the fried eggs but they were not legal in the US at the time.
99-01 Silver 996 - 6 speed with aero kit (best looking 911 ever IMHO) - can't decide between AWD or RWD. Now heres the kicker - after getting bit by the IMS once (hence the 9a1 I now drive) - it's going to have a Raby rebuilt motor.
Still in the dream stage, but look every day for a candidate. I got my list of must have options and still have not found the right car.

I bought mine in August of 2014 and love it
Ever since moving to FL I drive it more and every time I get into the car I still have a big smile
I would love a GTS with MT
but I am content with what I have for the time being

I daily drive my '07C2S and have no complaints at all. I love it as much as I did when I picked it up in 2010. I also track a 996GT3.
BUT... I made the (intentional) mistake of spending 1.5 hours thrashing a 991.2 GT3 at the Porsche experience Center last weekend and have been blinded. I anticipate I will own one of these in the next 2 years... It may replace the 996 or perhaps even both 911s I currently own.

Must be one w/o PSE, I can't comment on that, every 991.2 that I drove had PSE on it. It sounded fine, I have aftermarket exhaust on both of my Porsches and personally I prefer it quieter now, getting old.

My next 911 as in a replacement or in addition to?
My 997.1 C4S is currently my daily driver, even though I don't commute daily. And as I get older my work demands are such that I won't have to commute much. So if that were the case, I'd love to get a hold of an 86-89 930 Turbo if prices ever come back down to sane levels again.

Dedicated track car next. Not sure which incarnation of 911 I will go with.
Will keep my 997.2 C4S indefinitely for daily driving as it has been the most satisfying Porsche I have owned. I do about 5000 miles per year and am at 30000 miles so lots of time with this one left.
