Of course not! I was referring to those who use it for cruising only.

Yes, the 911 is lighter than the most of its competitors, that's a big advantage I reckon... but I don't think it was made for 'cruising'.
What makes it peerless though is its motor racing and hollywood starring roles heritage.

You should have been seated inside of one... it looks and feels like the Panamera. However, it still manages to be lighter than the 997 despite of being larger and bigger... then again that is definitely good!
The comparison to a 911 has the sole purpose of focusing on what a sports car should be all about (without electronic 'nannies' or 'gadgetry') - in the following order:
1. Handling........... (911 - far from the best)
2. Acceleration...... (911 - among the best)
3. Practicality....... (911 - among the best)
4. Price ............... (911 - far from the best)

You are wrong! Using your own words I can definitely say that there's no better balance between handling, acceleration, comfort and - I shall add - PRICE like in this Toyobaru.
