I'd agree with that as well...

For the 997 with the last of the non-turbo engines, I guess this is one of those halo cars.

What surprises me about the 992 is that it is so aluminum intensive, but still gains weight on the 991. Also it is not markedly faster on reference tracks when compared with the 991. So I cannot figure out what would make this latest generation 911 the cat’s meow. The fact that it will be an e-hybrid?
Yeah... I'd agree that the regular 992 doesn't seem to move the game on much from the 991.2. My comment as more about value..with used prices coming so close to new prices I think I'd just take the new one.

That is $3500-4k less than the original MSRP. Next owner might as well just stick it in a bubble and sit on it for 20-30 years. I do not have time for that.

Interesting color. Weird to do PTS and then only put 230 miles on before reselling. Also already 200 large and still 7 days to go.

Not bad… These days I tend to prefer anything different than the norm.

I was paying more attention to the background in the photos… I miss Arizona…

I don’t mind the green, but the pairing with the interior is just awful.

That interior looks like something from a Chevy Cruze.

(The color scheme)

I wonder if this person bought the 992 TTS and then got a GT3 allocation, so are selling to make a little money.

The new TTS looks amazing (markedly better than my car, IMO). I think the new GT3 with the double wishbone suspension upfront is the car to have though.
