    "Porsche Unveils 11 New Paint to Sample Colors" - Article

    I am content to pretend my color is PTS - its exactly what I wanted and a lot cheaper!

    Something a bit more 911…

    I drove a similar (997 911S Cabriolet) for nearly 12 years and sold it for a bit less than what I paid originally. How many "six figure" cars can you drive 12 years for free? Only a 911!

    Macan EV appears to have single speed transmission, unlike Taycan

    I know my opinion doesn't and shouldn't matter to this audience, but I've got a ICE Macan (with only 300 miles on it) as a loaner from my dealership and I hate the way this car drives. It feels and drives like a truck and is best suited to soccer moms. I'd go back to a 911 before I'd buy one of...

    Tesla Cybertruck beats 911 while towing a 911

    I miss my 911 but unless you track the car for competition or fun, you never experience what its capable of, and then there's this:

    A Taycan or an BMW I5 M60- what would you do?

    i think in all fairness to your study that you need to survey current owners of the BMW. I predict all the BMW owners will tell you something 180 degrees opposite the Taycan owners. It's a fool's errand. And FWIW I'd choose a Porsche over a BMW any day, and I've owned both.

    Anyone going back to a Tesla?

    Every time I see this post title at the top of my forum top hits, i have to roll my eyes. Its a reductive argument, like comparing a new shiny apple to a moldy orange. Can we kill this thread please and replace it with something useful. We are at 7 pages for heaven's sake. Anyone still stuck...

    Noobie Taycan Owner ...immediate long Road Trip .... Advice sought....

    I've driven San Diego to Monterey (along Route 1) and back and relied on A Better Route Planner, Electrify America and Plugshare apps. That was before CarPlay added some route planning features which might be worth using. My biggest takeaways: the car's range was always a bit better than the...

    Taycan GTS vs M5 Competition

    Whenever I see a BMW of any variety (including "competition"), and I know the owner sees me, I imagine him (most likely a him) thinking to himself "damn, I could have bought a Porsche." Or maybe he even says "should have." I could be wrong. Its what I would be thinking if I bought the BMW you...

    Can The Porsche Taycan REALLY Beat The 911? -- Drag Race & Track Battle

    I must be in a category all my own. For my midlife crisis I sold a 911 and bought a Taycan. On second thought, it was simply my second midlife crisis.

    Thinking of going back to ICE

    Drove my 911S Cab for 12 years and apart from the dreaded IMS bearing failure (do your research, it afflicted the earlier models), my car rarely required any service. The intervals for oil changes was ridiculously long which can give you a false sense of security. I sold the car for close to...

    Does driving a Taycan make one an official EV and/or Porsche brand ambassador?

    I also live in San Diego but charge my car only at home. Problem solved.

    Glad to be done with Porsche and Taycan

    Cannot argue with @Mr.Smith - he knows too much about this car and cars in general.

    Glad to be done with Porsche and Taycan

    I don't have time to read 10 pages on this topic but hope my response here provides some perspective: I've owned 4 Porsches (hence my handle) and a boatload of other American and imports (mostly German: MB & BMW). I also have a (yawn) Tesla. I am loyal to the Porsche brand for a reason. The...

    Porsche Class Action Settlement for ICE Owners

    I just got an email from [email protected] on account of my 911 and wonder if others have received as well. I haven't quite digested the whole thing but I believe it pertains to the VW scandal with cars not meeting emission requirements (and being outfitted to cheat the...
