It's been interesting to watch the launch of the all-new Porsche 911. You know, the one dubbed 992.
Maybe it's me but it just doesn't seem to have the same fan fare typically associated with the launch of a 911. Is it the overwhelming amount of technology jam-packed into the once Spartan sports car? Is it the slight design changes that have turned off the purists? Something else?
I don't wanna get off on a rant here, but all I know is I've been see the posts from folks in the media salivating over a car that most of them will never be able to afford.

Meanwhile the resulting product is less interesting and less involving to drive. But, hey, who cares as the next wave of invites arrive and they're relegated to being marketing bullhorns.
