OK, I feel much better now!
You are spot on my friend. As I have said before the only thing they left out on the badging is "made in Germany".

Maybe if you ask nice they will make a manual for you. They can call it the 991 Twin Turbo "T" (for Tom.)

I agree though brother.. It's a shame it's PDK only...Sure is a pretty car though..Especially in white (drool, drool.)

I think it will look better in person.
I find it a bit too refined in the pics.
Seems to have a lot of the clues from the Cayman beside it.
Surely will be an awesome car, just will take some time to grow on me.

Good one Phillip I'll see if Porsche will budge. I just don't understand it, I myself would pay a 10k premium for a manual option and everyone on the GT3 forum would do the same. Porsche could easily recoup development costs within the first 16 months of sales.

As far as the model insignia I like this one.

Awesome! I agree... We would all pay up for a manual...Oh well.. Maybe just put a beefed up motor and big turbos in the 997...
