Kreso, I look forward to your posts and relish the information they provide.
Like many on this board, I also have expressed my concern about the overpricing of the 991 models. So much so, that though I am thinking of getting back into the sport car market Porsche pricing has discouraged me from considering them.
Since the 991 is not selling all that well (much of which I suspect has to do with the pricing) what should Porsche do? I suppose they can provide options at lower prices or no charge. They also can make leasing or financing very attractive. Or they can work with the dealers to liberalize trade in value of older 911's. Sadly, once you price the model it is difficult to turn back. Restricting production or allocations depending on geography only postpones the growing problem.
I know Porsche prides itself on being the most profitable car company in the world with envious margins. However, they need to remember how they got that way. We the buyers put them where they are. Maybe it is time for Porsche to give back.
hi nberry,
I feel the same..however, not everything is lost,,;)...the new caymen looks good, like the boxster..I think the 991 generation will loose at big chunk of 911 drivers either coming from 997 or 996 towards 981 boxster or caymen...I know already a few like this.
There will be a Caymen R-GT3 - whatever it will be called also some time soon I heard..maybe thats my future Porsche. My 997 GT "oldtimers" will however not be sold..
