Is any of this news really that much of a surprise? The fact this car exists at all is a surprise. Expecting it to change dramatically after one year is pretty unreasonable IMO.

And don't look back. Enjoy!

Who is your insurance? I'm hearing shady shit about State Farm but I need to validate it through more than just the one local bodyshop I've got a quote through (i.e., the body shop might be shady). I agree, cutting corners on a repair is bullshit.

ITS is not available in blue with red interior for MY24. Maybe that changes for MY25.

Sure... but... I think it's a fallacy to think of "this price point". I think too many people still think that $52k is supposed to be a lot for a car. It isn't. Have you seen what a Mustang will run you these days? A Ford Explorer? F-150? Cars are just expensive. $52k is not what it used to be...

No, I didn't articulate what I meant well at all. Note the time I posted it. That's my excuse lol. I'll try again. You know how you drive some (most) other front-wheel drive cars and they "feel" front-wheel drive? To me, one of the ways I describe this sensation is "slippery"... maybe it's just...

Very well said. I do think you got a bit unlucky but the fact you still love the car is solid evidence that it's worth the praise heaped on it by the automotive media and happy owners. I've had mine for almost EXACTLY one year, 7200 miles and am just as happy if not more than the day I picked...

I hear you, I just try to advocate for the 4 cylinder 718 whenever I can. It's probably the best "bang for the buck" in this current market as far as what you get from a sports car at its price point- but it does not have the same sound, which I totally understand is a critical component to the...

I like the OEM titanium knob, but I'm currently exploring alternatives. Somehow I got a scratch on mine and it looks like it's going to be there permanently. Also the shade of the knob wasn't quite what I was expecting and doesn't match the rest of the interior of the car. I'd actually consider...

Proclip.

For that type of use case- a big, loud, fast in a straight line bruiser- an AMG is great. But as a sports car? Never appealed to me. I'm not entirely sure why, but Audi RS did appeal to me... until I owned one, a B9.5 RS5. GREAT daily. Engaging, fun to drive, sounds great. 100% absolutely not a...

Thing is, I've had cars reach well over 100k miles and have not needed a respray. Sure, there are a few rock chips... but in all honesty? Not as unsightly as aging PPF. Except for my STI. That thing was sandblasted with rock chips at like 8k miles... but I feel like PPF would ruin the paint if...

This has been a recurrent theme on Porsche forums for years.

PPF is for peace of mind. You can argue around this all day, but that's the fundamental concept. Resale value is conceptual at best. You can tell yourself whatever you want to convince yourself it's worth the expense, but facts to back up this concept may be hard to come by. That image of the...

I'm leaning towards picking up another 981 as soon as I can reasonably justify it. They've never been easy to find, and they're only going to get harder... The 718 GTS 4.0 is going to be the same story I think. Also, the sound is quite different from the 981. Better intake/induction noise...

Yeah the 981 GTS in particular is peak Porsche sound. There are two cars I've had that I never should have gotten rid of. A 981 Boxster GTS, and a 991.2 Carrera S. The 981 sounded way better, but the 991 driving experience was completely sublime.

I agree with the assessment that there isn't really an argument about this, possibly outside of a private sale. Where I'll still argue that most people don't give a shit; just us nuts hanging out in enthusiast forums like this. Vast majority of regular consumers may not even know what PPF is...

Worth is subjective. What isn't subjective is that you'll never get that money back, and it's over 10% of the cost of the car for something you (hopefully) can't even see. Speaking of being able to see it- one reason to do the whole car would be to change the aesthetics. Xpel Stealth...

Is there documented evidence of this, or just conjecture? I'm not being a dick, I actually am curious if there's any scientific evidence of this.

Yeah looks like details are imminent. Configurator bugs are the first sign of changes ;).
