As opposed to the Toronto autoshow? Quite keen to see it in the flesh at Downtown Porsche. Anybody know?

The launch event is Feb. 8th here in Halifax. I assume it would be the same across the country.

I just drove the new 991 C2S PDK..... WOW, I am impressed with the handling, braking, turn in at anything over 20kph is great... maybe the electro-hydraulic steering takes getting use to in the parking lot. Pfaff has three cars. Two for test drives today. Mine had 70km on it.....Hit 200kph without realizing it... 200 felt like 150 does in my 996.

A 991 is parked beside a 997 GT3 RS 4.0 in the showroom. The 997 looks dated beside the 991. Even the 19 inch wheels centre lock wheels on the 997 look small.

On the 991, the tail lights look good when lighted, but not so special when they are off. Interior is GT car stylish, but I had no complaints.

The new car seems to be a great daily drive as well as a super sports car when you hit sport mode button...Sport mode also kills the auto start / stop feature.

So, I'd take one over my 996 !

The unveiling was Feb 7 in Vancouver and they indicated a demo car at McL (the dealership) today.

John in Vancouver

ps I've got one rented for 4 days in Germany at the end of April. What a place to get the demo drive, on the Autobahn and on the back roads.
