This is going a bit off topic but it seems the whole UK is feeling underwhelmed by the 991 and to a lesser extent the 981.  Porsche sports cars are selling really slowly and residuals are appalling. 

Some of this must be related to the recession but I also think that while Porsche puts more and more technology into making their cars massively fast, they feel too remote and too big for UK roads.  My impression of the 991 (C2, SPASM, manual)  was that it was needlessly huge and very boring - too harsh to be a GT and and nowhere near engaging enough to be a sports car.  All the controls except the gearbox felt like digital and therefore artifical. And the gearbox was terrible!  It even sounded artifical, which after a few miles annoyed the hell out of me.
