The 991 C4 looks good, but it really is a shame the direction Porsche is taking. On the web special, all they do is brag about the luxury, and stupid acronyms like PTV, PDK, PDCC, and there are absolutely no technical diagrams (not even a picture of the engine this time around) at all, like there used to be on all of their old web specials. On old web specials they would brag how you can still get it with a pure, natural manual, now it's almost like they assume everyone will buy a PDK. And apparently in sport plus mode, the manual auto "double declutches", which I assume means it does heel and toeing for you. Just trying to prepare the manual users for PDK, I guess.

Is this a feature for all 2013 models or only on the C4 ?
I believe this goes across the range, like the ACC and glass roof.

Only if you have Sports Chrono...

I was disappointed that there was no more info on the power/torque split in normal/slippy conditions, you used to get loads of info like that.

Somebody had mentioned in another thread that it was redesigned to accommodate the parking-sensors better. I'd first spotted this difference in the Targa test-mule.

Too much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Too big!

I agree with Carrera but I know I'm in the minority. I just wish they were going in another direction. Oh well....way of the world!

I think the red bar looks forced and unnatural on this design... Looking forward to the Turbo which will be this wide but with proper lights
