Could not wait for 997

Dear all,
after following all your e-mails about the new 997 I decided not to wait for the 997 C and buy a 4S C instead. I am extremely happy with my choice and love the combination of a Turbo body and a convertible. I knew that a 997 4s will debut earliest in 2-3 years from now and a 4SC model is even further away. And I think the car is very sporty for a convertible and will hold its value very well. Before I had a C2 2001 model and the difference is incredible ( especially the refined engine )
You see, you don't necesarily have to wait for the 997, at least in my opinion.
Attached please find a picture of my car.

Happy cruising

Re: Could not wait for 997

Hello again, thank you all for your kind replies. Here is one picture more. My car is sealgray with black top, smooth athrazit natural leather. Just a little bit too cold in Switzerland right now to go topless. But spring is coming soon- Happy driving.
