Honestly i doubt that there were many people at all aiming for that niche. I think Porsche just made a new one

I'll admit it is attractive, but only because it is there and not because we were wondering why the spot was void.

how ridiculous is it really that they're offering so many flavors of the 911 that they can make most anyone happy? it's obviously not a huge manufacturing hurdle to give their customers this many options, so why not give customers several options instead of forcing them to make compromises?

I disagree. You're basically getting close to the GT3's power with the regular Carrera's softness. Makes sense to me.

Agree. Get exactly the flavor you want... I'm not sure I understand the problem.
