@wdc, what don't you like about the alcantara? It looks pretty comfy, wouldn't get hot in the sun like leather and should hold you in place well.
It's like chalk on a blackboard to me. Also, it can pill.

That GTS is a pretty car, but why spend all that money on a 981 GTS when you can buy a 987.2, get similar performance, and spend...half? The 987s remain the greatest bargain in the performance car world (to my chagrin). The 981s...aren't.

For me the looks and esp the interior are worth the 13-14 981 s increase in price(not so much the GTS). This will also be my only car so those matter.

6mt is a must. I did see that one. I'm a couple years out anyway. Other than the z3, I don't see us buying anything soon. Doesn't stop me from obsessively shopping though
