Really don't love the grey interior on cobalt blue, or on any other color, but this is a neat car:

The 992 GT3 Touring is apparently likely to have the option for rear seats.

Makes sense. Would be cool if they just made a GTS model that used that N/A engine but without all the hardcore suspension tuning, etc. Similar to Cayman GT4 vs GTS.

if you haven't driven, you should really check out the turbo 3.0 in the base and S. Its a gem of an engine and feels very N/A with extra torque compared to the 991.1 cars. It revs very freely.

Someone on the Rennlist forums mentioned this very scenario and the consensus was that a car like that would meaningfully eat into the GT3 Touring take rate. I'd certainly be very interested. However, what would they charge for it? It would probably be nearly as expensive as the GT3.

Yeah, you are right. I need to be more open minded. Hopefully I can find one to test drive in the spring / summer.

If you're in South East PA for some reason, feel free to ping me and check mine out.

$42500, so...that's a no on keeping the price reasonable.

Wow - that's a lot for that car.

I was hoping to pull mine out of storage today, but the weather up here is 24f and flurries, so that plan got the kaybosh. Instead I spent the morning installing all my Christmas presents.

A crest embossed arm rest, a t-module (remembers settings on the console buttons so you don't have to shut off auto stop start, select sport, pse, etc everytime you start the car), a function first shift knob and an aluminum gas cap. Lots of wasteful bling, but I like it. Especially the arm rest. It's pretty.
