I don't understand the Porsche naming scheme.

They made the 993 then 991 and now 992. Why is it not in sequence

I don’t understand it either but i dont mind it. 964 is a dope number and its one of my favorite 911s also

It went:
930 (or G series)
964
993
996
997
991
992



Didnt like the 996 gen (scrambled egg headlights) but man they grew on me. Also the most affordable gen right now. Can get a nice turbo model for not that much (relatively speaking).

I met my favorite at the porsche museum on the slim chance i had to last year . Since i left there i havent seen one since. Let alone a gt2rs, i see those go for (last time i looked ) half a mil now so thats out of reach

964 Turbo S models go for over a mil.

Even just regular Turbo’s go for like $220k.

Went car shopping for the wife today. Test drove a 2023 Range Rover and wife designed a pretty nice 2024 Range Rover LWB with 3 rows. Was offered at MSRP but would have to wait until April for delivery. Interior is very minimalistic. Different than the German brands. Incredibly comfortable though.

Our connection at Mercedes offered us the opportunity to build a G550 and grab it for cost. Feel like if you can get that deal you have to grab it. Wife wants to test drive one first, but will have to wait until October before they have one on the lot.

I think the 2025 G550 is getting a Facelift and infotainment system is getting upgraded to newer MBUX system. Going to try and get to front of list for 2025 with fall 2024 delivery.

I’d rather have a Wrangler over a GWagon. Four wheels on a cinder block is not 150+. Literally the most corny SUV on the market.

Blame Instagram for propping it up. Same with the Urus.

Wranglers aint what they used to be..

Pop up lights for the win!!!

It's one of the many reasons why I will always want a late 90s (preferably a V8 Twin) Lotus Esprit!! I mean, look at this with the pop-ups!! So freaking 90s and so freaking cool!!!

During the 997.1 model years, the GT2 was the most aggressive 911.

When they transitioned over to the 997.2 generation, they also transitioned it to the GT2RS which further reduced more weight, added more power, and incorporated new technology such as PASM. Production was limited to 500 units for the GT2RS.

And don't forget the earlier GT2s. They were both amazing in their own right.

993 GT2. Worth millions today. This particular car, Riviera Blue, sold for $2.4M.....in 2016!!!

So freaking wicked!

Then Porsche came out with a 996 GT2.

The GT2 was always the most powerful 911 they would make. Totally bat**** crazy!!

ahhh okay that makes sense, i like the look of it

You're right ..they're better but also overpriced.

GT2 is basically a Turbo and GT3 combined.

And a Wrangler over a G Wagon. Wranglers are POS’s but I get the appeal of them.

 

[tr1ll]

I think its more about ******** on G Wagons than anything else. The Wrangler has had a steep decline in quality and reliability after like 2020.

EDIT: Damn, right after they were acquired by Stellantis.

I don't know what you've been looking at but Jeep has introduced an upscale "luxury" model of everything including the Wrangler so if you want quality you can pay 100k+ for a Grand Wagoneer.
If there is a reliability decline and I can't confirm or deny that it would be because of the introduction of more tech and more engines. Slow roll of the JL started in 2018 so that would make sense. You know some manufacturers have a life cycle less than 20yrs. People ***** when there's no tech and then ***** that there's issues with new tech. SMH

Stellantis was actually a merger and not an acquisition.

 

[keko jones]

GWagon ain't my style ....

I also can pass on a Porche ....

Grand Wagoneer is literally the ugliest vehicle in the Jeep lineup, and in its class. The proportions and overall look of that is terrible.

I always liked JGC’s but this new gen looks terrible too. Last gen >>> and it aint even close.

I wouldn't mind a Porsche if I didn't have 2 small kids. Having a $200k two seater take up space just so I can take it out once every other week by myself just doesn't make sense.

I bring my 3 year old to day care twice a week at least in my 911
