fall at a price of $112,800 for the Carrera 4 Coupe, and $127,500 for the Carrera 4S Coupe.

Yes, that's a lot of money. But truthfully, now that the interior has been improved to premium car levels, any new 911 is as luxuriously appointed as it is fabulous to drive. The car makes heros out of novice drivers, unlike older 911s which were a bit of a handful in the wet especially, and now looks as attractive as any 911 ever has... well except for a pristine '73 RS. What can I say? Old flames are never forgotten.
