This is especially important for all those folks who CONSISTENTLY SAY "I'll just wait for the next model year/updates". - so you can permanently WAIT and watch the world pass you by. lol

^well said, too much economic downturn in all global markets right now, could be a good move for porshce, or it could hurt them in the long run...

While I'm always impressed at those who just hold onto their money; I always shake my head when those people NEVER do anything that creates amazing moments in your life.

Id' say owning a super car is one of those moments. Especially if you can share those moments with your friends and family.

Isn't that OEM for a Lambo owner? LOL

You're correct dallas. A magazine said basically what you did, and all the media went crazy saying it will last for 14 years.

The platform will last for 14 years, but the 991, only 7.

BTW, 991 refresh in 3.5 years, or June 2016.

I'm sure the platform is designed to handle much more than Porsche's currently throwing at it. They had great success with the 996 into 997, and this surely shaped their decision on this generation.

Bottom line: people will complain about this for a month now, and in 7-8 years again for a few weeks, then they will shut up. Porsche knows what they're doing, and they will adjust if necessary - especially with the 911.

Ahhh, what you're saying makes a lot more sense than the way the article presented this information. These thoughts completely slipped my mind because the article makes it seem as though the 991 itself will be around for 14 years, which I didn't think was valid.

Rep coming your way.
