The Los Angeles Times said in a review article about an unveiling of the C8 yesterday in Tusin CA that the car suffered from, as they wrote, “The image is some old white guy with a mustache who’s on his third wife.”

Why they failed to mention being over weight, bald and wearing gold chains is obviously a salute to our overwhelming trend for PC. The thing is, that image is one of guys 10 years older than me. IOW — dead.

The new image should be one of car enthusiasts that understand the ridiculousness of owning an old 911 of which price and cost of maintenance, parts, etc., no longer makes any sense. This would likely include many first time buyers into the idea of having a semi-exotic in the garage, that will have a warranty and service facilities with easy access, at a price point in line with the family boxcar.

And no throttle lift nightmares in the extreme nature of the 911. (The last decade of handling improvements noted.)
