My point is 991 hit US shores beginning of 2012, less than 3 years ago. Not a terribly old model in my books, irrespective of how many model years.

My point is that each generation is usually ~7 years, thus the 991's life is 50% over.

My original point that was that despite the 991 being several years old and everyone gunning for it as its the benchmark, its still dominating every competition/comparo especially when you consider a lot of these cars were just launched for 2015 and the 991 has been around since late 2011...so much so it's as if they dont even need to do a revised 991.2.
Please understand that I am just trying to be as accurate as possible since I made a boo boo regarding deliveries of 991 in US shores early 2012 which I erroneously said that it is MY 2013. It did arrive in 2012 as MY 2012.

The car was only unveiled at the Frankfurt auto show September 2011.

Here is a thread about ordering and deliveries of 991 which started in 2012. I do not believe there is any that is delivered in 2011.

I was in the market for one and waited one year so that the first year pain is sorted out hence I am quite sure when it arrived in North America.

Here is another thread about pics of 991 which is started in 2012.
