Yes indeed but notice that non of the women are actually looking at the car, maybe is it 🤔 because it’s YELLOW 😳😂🤐

Teesside launch.
Why do I prefer the twin pipes of the non-PSE, when I know I’d miss the sound?
Still like Crayon as a 911 colour though 😍

Am not sure that having the rear spoiler in the raised position when stationary enhances the looks of the 992... :?

Indeed. the 992 spoiler is one of the ugliest ones the 911 has ever had, and there's been some real shockers over the years!

I’ve had a bit of a ribbing for showing pictures of my car with the spoiler deployed, so to set the record straight this was nothing to do with me :lol:

Interestingly all of the show cars had them deployed. Not sure if that was potential buyers fiddling with the buttons or centre staff moving them?

I agree they look a bit odd, but better than some of the early pictures I’d seen, which I assume were showing it deployed in its brake action.

Does the “911” font and position look a bit weird to anyone else?

It is a bit marmite, yes.
There were a few cars there with just the 911 (still in retro font) but it looked less asymmetrical & probably worked better imho.
