The new version of most cars have teething issues. Theres something to be said for waiting a year or two untill someone else works their way through the snag list
That’s a fact and will apply even more so to the Taycan as it’s new tech and unproven
Most of my issues have been and still are software related. What worries me is they are rolling this new PCM out across the range so I expect issues to multiply. Having said that, the more people using the system the more likely it is they’ll be addressed. At the moment I feel like a Beta tester, without the perks.

Are you related to Simon (WingCo) ?

You are developing the WingCo musthavewannathose syndrome.

Its incurable.

Just bow to the inevitable, scratch and put down a deposit.

It's very nice, but I'm struggling to tell the difference over a 991. Looks like just another mild face-lift to me rather than something genuinely new. Not surprising as it's a "911" but I can't get overly excited about this one compared to the last 2 or 3 generations!

you need your eyes tested.

1. the bonnet is a different shape (and horrible)
2. the air intake at the back is split in the middle
3. the exhaust is integrated with the rear bumper (more GT2 RS like)
4. the front is in line with the new design language as seen on the Cayenne & Panmera.

those are the ones that i can see without looking for differences...

Here it is.... Porsche press photos of 992 and launch color seems to be blue and silver. The third brake light looks really strange and also the new model description including the "911" prefix. Apart from that just as expected. Wheels are really nice :)

Ha ha, Col. :lol:

My syndrome does not extend to the 992. Not overly convinced by the exterior looks (yet) and have already had a 2017 Panamera for a year, so the 992 Interior would not be a new experience for me either.

I honestly think I’ll hang on to my Carrera T for a while, considering modifications when the 3 year warranty expires. ;)

I like the 992 design. The back end especially, being bigger than the 991, it gives it much more presence than the outgoing 991
