The 991 is a great car, but VW/Audi/Porsche combo lost its direction/way in terms of the 911. Today's Porsche has '14 GT3 engine fires, recalls for emissions defeating software, getting rid of manual transmissions (but now bring it back in the next gen GT3), etc.

Nah, I'll just continue to enjoy my REAL air-cooled Porsche.
That's why I hung on for years owning both ends of the spectrum until recently......'62 356 roadster & '97 [993] C4S.
