the thing looks the same except for mild rear end mods and front grilles. Maybe GTS? Maybe just facelifted Turbo?

Yonkers is infamous around these parts
Don't like the lights either.
Man, they beat the crap out those cars in testing, eh?

Changes are usually subtle (visually) in terms of styling yet Porsche seems to have a knack at making the newer car good enough to get one to at least ponder it .

Some will make the jump after a test drive reveals improvements .

The snag is the trade in values for a 991.1 facing a 991.2 expense could perhaps make the cost higher than in the past 911 model lines .
In short the 991.2 might be real nice but is it worth it to throw (estimated rounding up) 60K for an identical 991.1S ? These are the questions that a repeat Porsche 911 owner faces .

Well at least for now .. the car isn't out yet and looking at the facelift photos is free .

It looks like a few of those test cars in the snow have roll bars and racing seats inside. Also PCCB's. Pretty extreme options for a standard Turbo or Carrera.

Dealer confirmed, however I also heard not a lot of changes to the 911 but there maybe a new engine introduced as hybrid or something like that.

I don't care for the tail lights. They look like a cross between the 997 and 991. I much prefer the 991 lights that are crescent in shape with a tapering toward the fenders.
