I’ve got the 997.2 TT S and it’s a wonderful car. As close to perfect as anything I’ve ever owned or driven. I’m never selling. It .

Can’t hold the amount of luggage or people as the M5. But the M5 and a TTS is the ultimate combo.

We have a pre-order for a Tesla roadster (thinking it should arrive 2022), that would theoretically replace the F90.

Alternatively I may get a Macan S for the utility of it (higher off the ground and easier to get in and out of), though it's nowhere as sexy. In that scenario I would also upgrade our Model S if there is any kind of refresh in the next year or so.

All subject to change depending on mood, money and what's available at the time.

Anyone concerned that they will be locked into their F90 and BMW releases the '21 M5 with a big Grill AND hybrid power at 700hp/700trq?

You know, maybe the problem is you. Maybe you aren't driving it right. lol.

Good response Nikolov lol...I am fortunate to own both and I can tell you as much as I really (really) enjoy the M5CE - it is no downgrade to move to a 991.2 Porsche Turbo S. That is just silly.

I'm already bored with the car after 2 months, that slushbox transmission kills all the joy from driving the car. I'll probably keep it for a year or two until my lease is up and look for a nice 991.2 Turbo S.

I felt the same way bud. It felt boring! Couldn't connect with the M5, so little options, no WOW factor. I honestly started to dread the car and sold it. Best decision i ever made for a car. Got the S560. Waiting for the 2020 911 Turbo S, its on way 😎

You're saying one of the reasons you sold the M5 is because you couldn't connect with it, and you ended up getting an S560??

You ordered a 2020 Turbo S and it's on the way?

No. It's called SwapAlease.

PS: are you citing confirmed facts about the power, engine and grille?

I was told by my Porsche contact that 992 turbo won't start production until late summer 2020

[Stealth7]

No, nothing confirmed, just industry trends.

Correct QB - and they will be 2021’s - not 2020 s.

No one has ordered a GTS - forget a Turbo S.

my wife extended her 2016 model s lease thru january to wait and see if there is an interior redesign or exterior adjustment (Not a Refresh!)

we were disappointed at the turbo/turbo s release for the taycan, we were hoping for the opposite end of the trims to be released first

Going from Getrag DCT used by the likes of Ferrari to omnipresent ZF auto that is slapped in your grandma's Touareg.

That's ///M for you.

Lexus started this mess. BMW is joining up....I don't understand the Big Grill Movement.

Grillgate notwithstanding, the 4 series concept looks stunning.

That is the thing...it DOES - in ever other angle. It is beautiful.

That grill though...

Does anyone know where the panamera is in its cycle? When will the next edition be available. Now I'm starting to think about life after f90.

[MpowerMike]

I’m thinking Audi R8 v10 plus or Amg gtr

I believe 2020 MY which are in production now will have no changes with the 2021 being the refresh. Full taillight bar like the new Macan and cayenne coupe and minor power bumps being a few of the changes.
