It has lost its edge
I drove one. From the second I sat in it, it didn't feel like a Porsche anymore.
Fast? hell yeah
Corners better? I guess
Feel? the car drove me.
granted I wasn't able to test drive a manual one, so that could account for some of it. According to my dealership at the time of my test drive, such a few number of people ordered a manual 997, and even less the 991 that they had no immediate plans to keep one in stock. Scary.
My other Porsche dealership told me that the clientele isn't what it used to be, and people no longer buy Porsches mainly for the sports car factor, but more for the "wow" factor.
They are just giving their clients what they want. I can't blame them, but I'm not happy about it either.
A lot of people pick it up PDK (like some of my friends) because their wives can't drive stick and they cant justify the purchase to them, so PDK it is.
