Here's another video, this one is all rolling shots.
There's no audio but strange enough it shows the 991 C4S even better (no distractions)... although in my head I sure am hearing that PSE!

But the real "fun time" will start when I actually receive my new baby!
So far it's been agony... I've never waited this long for a car which consequently means it did become very anticlimactic.
That said, it did give me a reason to test drive a whole lot of cars, some even for days at a time (multiple times) that was great fun.
The waiting is a bit more bearable now that the 991 C4S is actually being unveiled and there's actual delivery dates!!!
Not to mention having fellow 6speeders post up info and pics like Branja who's honeymooning in France and should be in Paris this Friday at the Auto Show!!!
Where I'm sure he'll take lots of pictures....(hint, hint!).
Anyway nice to have ya around!
Cheers!
Oh BTW nice avatar!

Well the official unveiling of the 991 C4S is here and... nada!
The event got over shadowed by the Porsche Panamera "wagon"... yep the C4S was rolled out onto the stage after the "wagon" got the big reveal...
Regardless of what one may think of the Panamera Turismo's design (the front half looks amazing but that's it!)... I believe it's safe to say Porsche has now officially stepped away from the prestige and performance driven image of Ferrari, Lamborghini and the like and joined the ranks of Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz and... VW.
I know it had one foot in both camps already... but now that it's firmly got both feet in there I'm kinda feeling it's loosing it's exclusivity or performance driven image I fell in love with as a child.
I certainly don't see any commercials being conceptualized around a 10 year old boy dreaming of... a station wagon!
Think I'd better focus harder on the C4S... here's some shots of the it at the Paris Auto Show.

I think Porsche has done a great job with the 991 but I read somewhere they are trying to double the car output so we are going to see a lot more models coming down the pipe with attention pulled from the 911. However credit to them they still have the "sportiest" model in every category line. Whether that distracts them from the importance of the 991 is yet to be seen when the GT and Turbo models are released.
Brand extension like this can be very a dangerous rope to walk and needs to be handled with care.

Sid,
Stop worrying about the other girls and just keep thinking about that a$$.. Besides, if you are right, you have a collector's item - one of the last 911s worth having!
Of course, I got mine when it was still Porsche - 6 long months ago on Sunday
Seriously, if you don't like the look of that car Sid, someone needs to check you for a pulse. It looks awesome - both ends of it. When do you get yours?

It sort off went like this;
Oooohw that Pana "Sport Turismo" looks kinda nice...
OK the front looks very nice... will look awesome on the new Pana.
Holy crap what am I saying... that's a @%$#@ station wagon!
What's next a minivan for crying out loud!!!
Now I've calmed down and am just focusing on that voluptuously sexy C4S... thank God for a short attention span!
