Me too. It would be a hard decision for me to pick a Taycan or 911 Turbo S. In the end, I'd pick the 911 just because it handles better but give the Taycan 100 more miles of range and a better charging network and I'd pick the EV. The Taycan also has far more potential as it's a 1st generation product. The next Taycan will be the fastest car Porsche has ever produced.

Oh I would choose the 911. Not a hard decision lol. I've always wanted a 911. Like I said one of my agents has a 911 cabriolet on order, should be here in December. I'm jealous. Life with good income and no kids has its benefits LOL

Well your notion is easily disputed by facts which you continue to ignore.
911 being the most iconic sports car worldwide is a fact and agreed upon by the car community in general. You are free to have your assumptions and observations even if they are wrong just don’t spew them as gospel and not expect pushback from ppl more knowledgeable then you in that regard.

Along with the 911, in my mind the current 718 Boxster and 718 Spyder represent the Porsche philosophy. They really harking back to those old lightweight 356. Porsche was known for lightweight roadsters. That's a true Porsche to me...back to the James Dean days.
