That's something the guy in the truck at the gas station said. He at first asked if it was an SL and I told him what it was then he responded that "you don't see many of them".

Yup, all true. It only becomes a problem when people nearly drift into you on the highway because they are trying to take pics/video while driving. Other than a handful of those, the attention these first few weeks with the car have been mostly all positive, with one guy nearly dumping the stroller his poor kids was in on the sidewalk.

Panamera Turbo
Some good info here. I have a 17 Panamera Turbo and I've been looking for a weekend car. For the past few months I've been strongly considering a 911 Turbo S. But in order to extract drama from the car I felt I needed a tune and exhaust.

The other day I saw a GTC Roadster and a light bulb went off. The car had such presence. I test drove a base soon after but coming from a Panamera turbo the power didn't feel adequate. So I'll be looking to jump into a GTC coupe. Hopefully it has enough oomph. If it does I'll probably get one.

Emmmhola. We were looking at the Turbo S as well. What sold me though was the GTC had the looks for the money I was paying.

@kattie22 I agree. In order for me to get the 911 Turbo S to my liking I would need to modify the car a good amount via lowering/wheels/tune etc. The AMG GTC I would be able to drive off of the lot without doing much and be satisfied with the car as a whole.
