A RED 911 Carrera is on my radar. I wish my husband would purchase one so I can drive it...on Sundays. 😊
I love 911’s have owned several of them. Recently went to the dealership to look at the 992. Getting in was fine. Getting out I had to grab the side view mirror (attached to the body of the car) to help me get out. Not very dignified!!
Gives me a backache just thinking about it. But wow are they gorgeous!!

My last 911 was a new 2009 Carrera coupe with a manual transmission. Shifting that transmission is one of the true joys of driving a sporting car, in my opinion. That said, I had the 911 sitting in my garage right next to my 2004 SL500 and found myself most always opting to drive the SL, so the P car went away. Just in the last couple of years, my back has started “yelling” at me when I even look at a 911.

WOW! Its beautiful.
I work out with a personal trainer. I have very good knees and a strong back. Gotta stay fit for these little red sports cars. 😉

LOVE that car mate.....this was mine, you may recall
I don’t think you will see the LS discontinued. It may go away for a while but it will be back.
I really don’t know what I will get next, nothing really excites me. W223 doesn’t excite me, I like the interior of the new 7, but the exterior is still a challenge, I like the new Range Rover but still like a sedan…
I may just buy this out and keep it and spend the money getting a much nicer family vehicle.

That’s how I felt and also did when I had my pre-facelift W222. I didn’t feel like I want nearly the same car again (facelift), so I first got a Lincoln Navigator (Black Label is nice), then also got the X7 M50i as family vehicles. It wasn’t too long before I started to shop for the S-class again, and settled on the W222 facelift. Once and If I decide to upgrade, am not seeing anything around other than a 2022 7-series M760i, as I hate the exterior of the new one, while the dashboard is fine the rear seats design is a joke. Porsche Panamera is another option I like but not anytime soon… I think I will keep my S560 for some-time now, I’ve already had to wait for nearly a year to find it the way I want. It’s not that uncommon to have hard time upgrading when what you have is already a modern S-class. I have nothing to complain about, truly flawless design and performance.

I would upgrade if I liked the design of the W223 inside. Thats really my issue. I like the exterior, its the interior dash layout I just much prefer in my W222. I lease, so an incremental upgrade for a little bit more per month is fine for me.
In the past there have been new features and technology that make me want to upgrade, but in my car I have CarPlay which is all I use, so infotainment changes don't impact me, I have lane centering on the highway, so newer versions of that are better...but mine works well. W223 has quality/reliability issues that are clearly bigger than was was on the 222 by the forum chatter, and perhaps doesn't ride as well...has an interior design I don't care for, tech wont impact me since I use CarPlay...plus its 15-20% more expensive and would cost me 50% more to lease than what I have now...to do that for a car I don't love because I like the newer exterior doesn't motivate me...I can just buy out what I have for $50k and direct that $1,500 a month to something else. Maybe I'll buy a boat...
I love the interior of the new 7, but don't love the exterior...so why would I do that?
I love Range Rovers, but I don't know if I will be happy with an SUV every day and they are so hard to get with huge markups...
So really, I think sticking with what I have is where I am at for now. The only time I have ever kept a car for more than 3 years is because I couldn't afford to replace it which isn't the case now, so this is new territory for me lol

Buying out might not be a bad decision especially if it is reliable and you love it and don't need or want the next big thing. For the 7 series perhaps you could do some aftermarket modding of the grille as I think there is a huge aftermarket for BMW or you never know, BMW might change it during the facelift?

Id LIKE to have the next big thing, I just don’t see the next big thing out there right now that really moves the needle for me.

My only issue with it is VW software right now, its pretty bad, hopefully it will be refreshed by the time it reached the states. And please do get a fun color combo! These look awesome in two tone.
