Question: if you own a 991.1 TTS cab like me - does the 991.2 TTS represent a good enough reason to upgrade?
Why would you do that. You have already a fantastic car. It is not getting worse just there is a slightly better one on the market. I regret every single 911 I owned and sold. I wished to have every single car back. I would stick with an earlier one instead of the latest greatest. Being realistic - you just burn a lot of money for getting almost the same car again. And in couple of years, the older the better! Stick with it and buy another toy with the money you did safe!
Also, I think that the 992 Turbo S is going to be a very interesting product, hybrid tech and all. I don't say it is going to be more emotional than the current one but certainly an interesting car because of lots of new tech, incl. a new interior.
I agree on that. They have to do a leap jump into the next generations of car. But as VW has budget problems I doubt to see a leap jump! I agree - hybrid tech would make the car very interesting. A Mini-918 - maybe? We will see soon, but again - all comes and goes with the VW budget!
This is what I am hoping for (Mini 918) and the VW budget thingie may not affect Porsche as much as it will affect VW and Audi. Actually, I think that VW will need to live with lower gain margins from now on if they want to keep their customers happy. The main problem for Porsche is actually that the Cayenne is affected as well by the whole EPA stuff in the US, meaning that the EPA is also going after Porsche.
Interesting times ahead... 
The bad thing is that many in Germany believe that the US government and EPA are actually going after VW because they want to destroy the competition and this image, especially now with the refugee crisis and rising nationalism, is a problem for Germany. I think the US authorities and EPA should be very careful how they deal with VW. Punishing them? Yes, it will happen. Setting an example? This would be a huge mistake in my opinion.
