So, every 911 moving forward is going to be turbocharged?

Except the GT3(RS) of course. Good heavens, $90K starting point to get into a 911 .

Wow, big jump in price. I suppose there are still a long laundry list of options and the price increase didn't make the logical options standard.

There are a few more standard features on the base car including PASM. The Nav/CarPlay setup is a huge bump as well. Hopefully will be driving it in December.

I wonder if real-world mpg will really be better, or if it just cheats the euro/dot cycle.

I assume the nav/Google Earth, WiFi is the same as my 2016 Audi since they are kissing cousins. The WiFi actually has helped for a business event for me already. Google Earth was fun to see but I changed my nav back to 3D maps as it easier to read and interpret when not in a familiar area. My pet peeve about the nav is simply the listed next turns are posted inverted meaning the next turn listed vertically is the third one down meaning the order is from the bottom to top not top to bottom. We are taught to read from left to right and top to bottom not bottom to top errrrr. I have no idea why they do it that way.

Rant over, my 2016 Audi A6 TDI is a 9.75 out of 10.

i like the a6 too(a4 wagon driver). benefit on the P-car is it is touch screen, way easier and faster than MMI.

Everyone will be up in arms about the turbo charging just like when water pumpers came out, etc.

Overtime they do get better.........for the most part.

Would be interesting to see if they will keep a "TT" trim, or if that will be phased out in favor of GTS, etc.

I am also secretly hoping this will help appreciation of "NA" cars (esp. air cooled?)
