Thanks RC, not only for your precise report, but your command of English.  While similar in its conclusions, you add  many helpful nuances.  

The new Carrera will sell well, and in the numbers that Porsche normally estimates for its facelift models--before the generation change.  And i agree that current 991 Carrera and GTS owners will still feel comfortable with their purchases.  

i think it will be very interesting to compare the 991.2 GTS model to yours, to see if Porsche will again achieve the GTS characteristics that are so appealing….,
