I had wondered where the inter-coolers were on the turbo non-turbo cars.

I am sure going to be brilliant but man lots of electronics in them that will not be good for owners when they start aging. Also not a fan at all of the spoiler but everything else looks great.

I mean, I know there are a few things that are going to be improved - wider front track, for one. But ... I just don't like the interior and the exterior of my 991.2 is just so elegant - this new design doesn't say that to me.

I agree. I've got a 911T coming and super happy I went with this current iteration as it's elegant looking.

The newer electronics in cars are getting easier and easier to diagnose when you have the proper scanning tool. In the last 20 years cars have been loaded up with electronics, especially the ones form Europe so that is nothing new when it comes too them getting old. I have/had my share of VWs that can be a headache if you don't have the proper scanning tool. However, with it it's very easy to figure out where to look. Much easier than in the old days before canbus was the controller form. The ONLY downside to all this will be the replacement or repair cost of the numerous computers littered across these new cars.
