911's new turbo engine still sounds delicious, and enhances the overall package.

Thoughts on the effectiveness and value of the 4-wheel steer system?

I still hate the visual look of the vertical air slots, though i do like more air...

To me, a novelty. If you're doing some lapping, you'll notice it a bit. Same with parking. For the average driver, it's hard to notice. That's the point. I'd save my money, if it were my car.

That was my thought, but it's a big deal that Porsche isn't marketing the out of.  Sort of like Cadillac not marketing the out of magnetic ride control - I just don't understand.

These may not actually be things you need, but good marketing could make them the things you want

Hour much easier is parking because of it?

I doubt parking is noticably easier.  You're not talking significant turn angle on the rear.

Man what a week of performance car reviews!  You guys need to really space these out, I'm going to have withdrawal when the inevitable run of CUV's and economy cars come back.

Porsche is continuing to build some of the best all around performance vehicles.  Purists will dislike that the natural aspirated engines are dying off but can't argue with more speed and better fuel economy.  Not sure I'd choose a 911 over the competition, maybe if I was only allowed one vehicle for all around driving.
