very interesting. Looks a lot like a Cayenne. I am happy this is not replacing the Cayenne as I am on my fourth one and it has a lot more room and more hp. The price point should attract many more buyers, imo.

Porsche just makes good vehicles...incredibly well designed and manufactured...

Have you seen the Panamera??

Have you seen the Panamera??

Have you driven one ? I know the bubble butt takes some getting use too. I test drove a GTS version in white. It's a beast.

I used to own a '10 Panamera S...then went to a '11 911 GTS (oh my was that a sports car), now have a '14 911 4S. Technically it's a better sports car...I do miss the raw fun of the GTS....however this 911 gets the comfort factor right up there with the Panamera...while handling better than my former GTS.

I am a sucker for great handling...the new 911's are amazing. And the build quality...shutting the doors, the controls, the transmission and braking...it's hard to beat

My 911 is getting old school now....2004 996 GT3...still under 11k miles. My '13 Cayenne GTS is the daily driver. 911 weather is going away here quick.

If you could...I'd keep your '04 and get a '11 GTS one day. I dreaded selling that car... at least get one for a test drive...this spring ;-)

Have you ever tracked your 911 ? I haven't in about 5 years, but have brought it to the track for nine track days so far. You have a real nicetrack...Circuit of the America's real close to you. Nothing like driving a 911 near the limit w/o fear of law enforcement reprisal.

Have an 11 GTS...agree with your comments. Thought about upgrading but still enjoying the older platform. Eventually will upgrade. Maybe there will be a GTS on the "new" body style.

This is on my list of todo's...and maybe the porsche driving school one day...

I tracked my 2010 GT3 at Barbour Motorsports in Alabama. Was an unbelievable experience! Equally unbelievable were the costs for the 2 day event. A new set of Michelin Sports Pilots, brake flush, alignment and balance, oil change with filter = $2000, track costs $700. Ouch! Having said that, was worth the cost, and there is really no other way to realize what a great machine Porsche makes w/o tracking. Highly recommended!
