I looked at 992's yesterday on dealer lots and all had $124k+ sticker prices. Easily $40k+ more than a G8X that'll likely be faster. Nice cars, but that 379 HP wasn't an attractive selling point, nor was the lack of a 6MT. I wouldn't pony up for any Porsche other than a 6MT GT3.
Numbers are only half the story, some of us care more about the driving experience. Whether the price difference is worth it is up to the customer.
