Thanks guys
@tazmaniac, amazon, Alex18_996CC: sorry if my original post wasn't clear. I meant to say that I don't want to buy a cab if it will provide less luggage space than the equivalent coupe e.g. the 997 Cab has less space behind the front seats than the 997 Coupe.
Anyway, turning to the choices, I really love the practicality and convenience of a 911 Coupe. It has just enough luggage space for me. The 997TT would give me more power with the same luggage capacity.
I am really reluctant to get the current TT. If I am spending about GBPounds50k more, I want the latest technology etc. The facelift TT is very tempting BUT I am very interested in PDK. I definitely won't buy a Tiptronic S. It needs to be a manual or PDK. If PDK isn't launched with the facelift TT, then I may have to wait till the 998 TT. That could be many years away from now.
I would love to buy a F430 Spider or Gallardo Spyder BUT I can only have 1 car (due to car parking limitations, I only have 1 car parking space in the underground car park in my apartment building) and these 2 cars have tiny boots with not much extra luggage capacity in the passenger cabin.
The AMV8 offers plenty of luggage space, very nice styling etc BUT it isn't a performance increase on my C2S.
The Bentley CGT, SL63, Maserati Gran Turismo, Jaguar XKR are all nice GT cars BUT I think they will just be too soft for me. Maybe I might consider one after I'm 50-55 years old!
The BMW M3 seems perfect on paper BUT I am not keen on the styling PLUS it's a BMW which is, for me, a step backwards. I used to have a BMW and I don't really want to go back down that road again.
The Audi TT simply isn't powerful enough but it does have DSG. The R8 doesn't appeal to me styling-wise and it doesn't have DSG.
How does one replace a Porsche???? No sports car out there offers this combination of performance and practicality.
I think I should stick with my car for a few years to see what happens re facelifted TT. Does it get PDK? Will it still have a GT1 derived engine? iPod connection? Bluetooth phone? If all these boxes aren't ticked, I may just wait till the 998TT comes out.
