992

I like it. Those wheels are lovely, interior looks much better and I love the new arse.

[Coaster1]

Just watched the video; the new car looks a lot nicer than the initial spy pictures, although I’m not sure of the rear, particularly the position of the exhausts.

[mik]

I'm still not sold on the back end either.

But otherwise - yeah.

I think I’ll wait for the 993.

they really didn’t think that through did they!

[Mito Man]

Maybe it will be like a Lego re-release. We will get a 993 but with turbo engines and airbags

What's the Peugeot 308 replacement going to be called, I wonder?

What, you mean like this one:



On the 992 I generally like the front end - I think they've done a good job with that. Some people are getting in a twist about it not being a straight line between the bonnet and the front wings but I don't really care about that.

The interior (despite the extremely dull colour scheme of the one in the Carfection vid) looks good and I like the 993 and before horizontal look to the dash. I'm not sure about the central tacho - looks a but out of place sticking forward of the screens but I'm sure I could live with it - the twiddly paddle for a gear selector is definitely crap though.

Two points really let it down for me:

One is the treatment of the light bar on the rear end - its way too high and continues a negative trend started with the 991.1 of making the car look taller across the rear. The exhaust (which I presume are fake) are also a halfway house between central mounted and one at each side - I think it just makes it look like it has a squint. Definitely a step backwards from the 991.2

Second is its weight issue. An extra 50kgs is pretty crap - especially since pretty much all that weight does nothing to improve the car - added emissions filters and uprating the PDK box to cope with a future hybrid system that isn't fitted yet! Oh well, at least I presume you could save a chunk of that by speccing the correct, manuel gearbox.

Hopefully they'll re-work that rear end significantly with a 992.2 refresh.

i don’t care about Peugeot’s though.

Are they going to follow the Kia C'eed's naming convention, do you think?
Peugeot 3'09
Porsche 9'93
It could catch on

[GG.]

Aventurine green back on the options list apparently - very cool. Wish they’d resurrected that before now.

[Jobbo]

Ooh, are they bringing back Nephrite for the interior too?

[GG.]

To my knowledge sadly not. Do you want that in combo with the rouched seats, Simon?

[ZedLeg]

The exhaust (which I presume are fake)

Why do you presume the exhausts are fake? (I've only skimmed the video with no sound, so I may be missing something obvious)

I like it though, it doesn't have that up on stilts look that the first 991 had. I like the new back end, hopefully the anoraks hate it so it becomes cheap in the future .
