I'm honestly surprised you think the 991 looks more different from the 997 than the 992 does to the 991. |

I think they'll figure it out and make some marginal improvements as they go. This mule (possible GTS?) already has a much more aggressive looking front. Plus the rear we saw on the non-camo turbo is looking vastly improved as well. All I really care about is how the GT cars turn out.
I honestly feel the MK2s are always the generation to own with Porsche but will be especially true with the 992.

So do I think the 992 will be any better? Nah. The Carrera is a 2-door tourer, IMO. It's comfortable, has good power, drives well, but has slowly lost the intangible engagement factor. Carreras strike me as cars for people who want the form factor of a 911 with the driving experience of a 6/8-series coupe. |

I don't really like that approach, but it also leaves room for the Boxster/cayman to offer the driving experience that people expect from a Porsche sports car without having to spend dumb money on a GTS or higher level 911. From a brand perspective, it's a very tight rope they are walking. Simply put, the days of the basic carrera being the core of the Porsche driving experience are long gone, which in some ways is a shame. Not that BMW hasn't started to do the same with the M3, however. |

For me, it comes down to seating. I want a vert and 4 seats and a visceral NA engine as i have small kids and when i rented a 911 I put the eldest in the back with the roof down and he couldn't stop laughing.
So it's previous gen m3, which is super heavy and seriously expensive to run, or Mustang or 911. There's literally nothing else. If it was just for me i'd go Boxster or 4C all day. |

If you're serious about the NA engine, the current and future 911s are basically off the list as well. They're all turbos now.
