I don't think that the 991 is too expensive. Compared to other cars it's quite a bargain. You get something which is a pleasure to drive, sounds good, not too big, you can take your kids with you, looks good, doesn't consume too much petrol, is well built, won't blame you in front of a hotel nor on a race track -- actually it ticks all the boxes, it's nearly perfect.

 

I agree, at least here in SA, once you've chosen a 911, there is no alternative in the price range - AMs and Mazaratis are 50% more expensive, even if you wanted to consider them.  Not sure what would line up price-wise to tempt me in Europe..?

But this post has now become something I haven't seen on Rennteam in the year I've been a member: a very harsh, but objective criticism of the group's direction, with even the most dyed in the wool fans questioning it's strategy.  And we all seem to be in total agreement: the brand needs to add a mid-engine sportscar into its permenant range (not just a limited issue Carrera GT supercar).
