No.
Not in my country it doesn't.
Everything has its day, and the 911's has long been over. It's just forgotten to die.
No, but it's quite vivid. If it doesn't make sense to you, how about this for a body-part-related analogy: the 911 is Porsche's appendix. At one time, the appendix assisted human digestion. Now it's vestigal and can only cause trouble. It's long been infected, it's causing systemic poisoning, and it requires removal before it bursts and kills the body.
I don't need to regurgitate Jeremy. I just don't like the 911, I don't like the Americans who drive them (who generally behave like assholes on the road), and my dislike has colored my view of all Porsches because Porsche insists on putting its design cues into every single car they make.
Maybe Corvettes in Europe possess the same type of drivers that 911s in the US do, but not Corvettes driven here. There is no such thing as a typical Corvette driver. They represent all ages, ethnicities, and, surprisingly, genders. The one thing they have in common is love for the Corvette.
True. But the 911 drivers are only part of the problem. Porsche's insistence in keeping the look virtually unchanged, and then incorporating the look into their whole range, is the main problem. Even the Mustang and Corvette have evolved their looks over the years. What's the problem in Stuttgart?
Are you trolling....?
The US has always been the biggest single market for Porsche with more than 1/4 of their global sales, with the highest number of 911s sold, more than 13000 units sold in 2007 with an obvious decrease due to the recession, and the fact that the 997 is due to be replaced. When the 991 is released, expect those sales to rise again, just as when the 996 was replaced by the 997.
How has the 911 forgotten to die? It's a performance icon that continues to win races (like it has always done, since it was introduced), and is praised by pretty much everyone who drives them. How can you say it's "had it's time", and should be discontinued? If you have a recipe for success that has been proved to work over the years (in this instance since 1963) and still works incredibly well as is proven by it's previous and current success on the race track and as a road car, you will have to be monumentally stupid to throw all of that out of the window and start on a blank sheet. Fortunately Porsche knows and understands this and continues to make the 911.
Also, saying the 911 is Porsche's appendix is just as stupid. What do you base this upon? On the contrary actually, the 911 is the very reason Porsche became the massive success it is today.
When it comes to hating a car because of some of it's owners, that's plainly silly. It's not the cars fault that you behave like an asshole. Also whether american 911 drivers are assholes or not, I might think FG users like nugget have something to say about that. I also refuse to believe that there is a larger percentage of assholes driving 911s than pretty much any car carrying a premium badge, as they are all sold to the same owners. That said, I have actually lived in the US, spent a semester at a college as an exchange student, and have also visited the US on a couple of other occasions.
Also, the 911 has evolved over the years, just put them next to each other, and you'll see. It's funny you mention the Mustang, as Ford decided to return to the retro 60s look, along with others.
But then again... Haters gonna hate...
