I’m thinking the LA Show in November... with deliveries next Summer. Porsche is moving slow with debuts now for some reason.

Could also be they are having trouble fitting the turbo

Goodwood seems likely at this point but if not, then Ill just get a used 991.2 GTS or maybe GT4S. Done waiting, theres no other car in Porsche history that has been delayed this many times. The 992 isn't really an option for me. There's just too many updated aesthetics that I can't get over. I don't like the sports exhaust, the square hood, the gear lever, third brake light and probably other stuff that I am forgetting.

I realy am with you on this one. Perhaps it will grown on me over time. Ugh the cabriolet is the worst offender. My god its ugly. Same with the new Speedster. I pity the fool who buys the Speedster.

I understand the wait is frustrating for a lot of people. I'm extremely curious to know the final details, particularly in engine choice. I don't, however, consider the car delayed. Did I miss an announcement from Porsche indicating a reveal or launch that they then changed? It's just speculation and rumor otherwise.

You're right, we were all hoping for it at geneva, but Porsche never said anything. reputable mags have said Goodwood, so until we hear otherwise, I am expecting we'll see it 4 July in the flesh at goodwood, with an online reveal in June.

The 911T is not doing what PAG expected so they decided not to offer the 718T over here.

Guys, remember that Porsche said to extend the life of the current 718 until the refresh when the electric versions come in. They are essentially skipping a refresh cycle on the mid-engine cars. The GT4 and Spyder are end-of-series specials. No surprise they are delayed. Maybe not to the very end of the current 718, but quite a bit. Maybe expect an RS at the very end of the cycle in 2021, and the regular GT4 in 2020. Again, no surprise after the skipping-refresh announcement. Just IMHO. Your mileage may vary.
