I like the 992, looks great (especially with the sports appearance package which makes the front end better looking) and I really like the new light-bar taillights that Porsche has been using. The inside is nice too, although the new gauge cluster is awkwardly blocked by the steering wheel, but thankfully there's still toggles/buttons compared to the Panamera and Cayenne. Excited to see the next GT3, I had a short drive in the 991.2 GT3, and it was simply excellent.

I'd personally get a Boxster/Cayman though since its lighter, smaller, cheaper (although still expensive), and more fun (especially since the Flat-6 will be returning). Annoyingly though I feel like Porsche is purposefully holding the Boxster/Cayman back to not step on the toes of their bread and butter 911.

Haven't driven a 992 yet so can't really judge it (although I enjoyed the 991 so hopefully they just improved on that), but plan on test driving one after the pandemic and when more manuals arrive on dealer lots.
