I agree with this. Our local Porsche dealer sells mostly Cayenne's and Macan's, with a few Boxster's and Cayman's thrown in. 911's are great cars but not really big sellers....the reason is PRICE. Way too expensive for most buyers.
Their SUV's on the other hand, are damn near as fast, hold more stuff and sell at reasonable prices. If not for the SUV sales, Porsche would be a memory.

Yes if you have to promote yourself and claim you make XXX$ dollars to try an impress others, you really don't have it. People with real money, don't have to promote themselves, this clown seems to want to impress the internet toads. The bad news is us of those that have been truly successful could buy and sell this clown 42 times over and I laugh at his being a wannabe. I could go on but he is just not worth the time.
..The guy T&G bought an old used C6, was unable to spend $55K, for a base C7, yet claims not blinking @ $100K, to $115K+ for a new C8!!
... Can't make this stuff up!!

Not sure how and why the Cayennes or even Caymans, keep getting thrown in on sports car (two-seater) discussions versus the C7/C8??

I like smooooth cowhide, myself. MB Tex is a second choice, but its better than Alcatara.

Cayman isn’t a 2 seat sports car?
Joe is confused, Cayenne is an SUV/SAV.

I believe Cayman come as both 2 and 4 seaters. 911's are 4 seaters.
It is crazy how much 911's cost. A base model is almost 50% more expensive than a Cayenne. No way it costs more to produce.
That's what makes Corvettes such incredible performance bargains. You have to spend at least twice as much on a Porsche to get the same performance.

No, both Boxster and Cayman are strictly two seaters. No jumpseats behind because it is a true mid-engine car, with the engine compartment directly behind the driver and pax seats. 911 is a rear-engine design.

I haven't read beyond this post. But truly, does anyone care what one person looking for attention says on an anonymous internet? Really?
I guess based off his name Big Baller, Tennis and Golf nut he must be in the upper segment of the population

Interlude poll (sponsored by 3.1 911S car and driver):
Number of people that have called the ZR1 a "catfish".
Number of people that have called a 911 a "beetle".
Vote away and winner get's five attempts at FORZA 6 to beat the current 3.1 2017 911 S record holder.
Cheers

Are you fine with your invented plastic and carbon fiber dash panels, or is the natural and far more costly and difficult to work with wood preferable to you?

100K discussion promptly kidnapped by the obvious 911 trolls.
There is no other option.
Ferrari is not an option
Lamborghini is not an option
McLaren is not an option
AMG GT is not an option
Austin Martin (God Bless them for the 150K Vantage) is not an option
(add at least other 10 sports car manufacturers here)
ONLY THE FAKE 3.1 911S is an option....
Honestly, reads like desperation.

Great... yet another chest thumping pricing prediction thread... how about we just hope the new ME car stickers for $450k, why stop at only $100k? 
Trust that many folks here can afford $100k price tag on the ME car, just like the OP (and of course, some here cannot), but it is simply a price/performance equation. I hope the base model ME car isn't anywhere near $100k, if it is, it will be the end of Corvette as it has been known for generations.
Boggles me as to why some people think it a negative for GM to continue to provide a great sports car for the masses? If you want something more exclusive, there are many options already available for one to chose from, and not too many in the "for the masses" segment. GM would be completely insane to give up the space that Corvette absolutely dominates.

Hey! Why all the C6 hate? Lol
I'm still in a C6. It's tastefully modified inside and out. Looks much better than the day it came from the factory. And truthfully I barely have time to drive it.
It really creates a dilemma cause it's only worth about $30k, and I'd have to spend 3x more to actually be driving a nicer or faster car.
Just saying.
