I know the 991 will be good enough to eventually sway me to look & consider (the new ones almost always are), but I do LOVE my GTS and absolutely not interested in waiting for the 991 release and then the initial low supply issues are long-time Porsche owners work through their initial cars.

I also see a decent inventory at my local P-dealers (Dallas). From my perspective, there's a lot to choose from and they are being relatively aggressive in moving them.

So, to make a short answer long: DON'T WAIT! GET ONE NOW!

I'll have this car for maybe 2 years and see how the 991 plays out. Let them get any early bugs out of the way, let the "must have it" crowd subside, let the dealer mark ups go away, and then I'll be ready to buy.
