Anyone?
Cost. The Mezger engine costs a lot more because it uses more bespoke parts. Id imagine porsche intend to sell a few and make margin. I am a "customer" and fit the profile and the appeal, to me, of the 991 just isn't there. I am not saying this to talk up values of 997's or 996's but i don't want a rear steered, pdk boxed, bigger, uglier (personal view), centre console from a Panamera'd, 20 inched wheeled, electro diffed GT3. Don't care if its faster, theres loads of cars that are faster on a track, and some of them cheaper. When the 997 came out i really wanted one badly, this one isn't pulling the same strings.
Other people coming to the cars from a different place will think differently and thats fine too.
