In Australia, there is no manual car sales for Porsche 911 Carrera S / Carrera 4S!

Somehow shocked ~

In the North American market in November 2019, and just a few days ago in the European market and its related markets (I don't know where they are ...), the new Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S and Carrera 4S models , It was announced that manual cars will be sold.

Reference article:
◆ (North America) New Porsche 911 (992 type) Carrera S / 4S model manual car sales
◆ (Europe) 7-speed manual added to new Porsche 911 Carrera S, Carrera 4

And this time in Australia, the Australian media reported that "unfortunately manual transmissions will not be sold." Ah.

Is there a Porsche 992 manual car sale in Japan?

Unfortunately, it is often said that the 992 Carrera for manual transmissions will not be sold in Japan as well (in fact, even when I had the opportunity to talk to Porsche Japan before, it still feels tough. There was a story @ It was a story at that time, but just in case).

However, for this 992, I have a faint expectation that Porsche Japan will suddenly say "No, I decided to put it out!" ^ ^

basis? There is no such thing (flatly).

Yes, because it's up to you to positively imagine, delusion, and expect!

I was trying to believe that "I'm sure they will sell MT and left-hand drive MT cars this time," but when I came here, I heard the story "I can't do it in Australia." Somehow, it may be impossible for Japan to do so ... I feel a little negative.

No, no, I'd like to expect positively here (but how long ...).

Reasons for not selling Carrera S / Carrera 4S MT

By the way, this time, Chris Jordan, the head of public relations of Porsche Cars Australia, told the Australian media that the MT cars of Porsche 992 Carrera S and Carrera 4S will not be sold in Australia.

It seems that the reason why it is not sold is because there are few needs.

Uh, it's pretty easy to understand (laughs). If you say so, you will end up with "That's right."

It is also true that some people want MT cars and others are eager for them. However, when looking at the whole, if the overwhelming majority of people are still looking for PDK, the sales of MT cars will be postponed.

It seems that the percentage of MT cars desired in Australia is in the single digit range, so it is understandable that it will certainly be rejected from a business perspective.

By the way, one thing that can be expected is that Mr. Jordan said, "If there is a need, it is possible to sell MT cars with the high performance model of 911."

It seems that it was not specified what 911 model it was, but the media reports that it is possible to think of GTS, GT3 (touring is MT only anyway).

Hahhh. What will happen to Japan?

In Japan, if the left-hand drive of the Porsche 992 base model Carrera comes out, I will buy it! WhatI declared it in the last blogBut, no, I think I would really buy it if it was released (← So, I thought that about half would not be released ((laughs)).

But when I actually buy it, I wonder if I'll replace my beloved black carrera ... and I'll cry just thinking that way (tears).

Imagine a 992 manual car that you don't know if you can sell it, imagine a 992 manual car that you don't know if you can buy it, and imagine that the day will come when Mr. Kuro Carrera may leave me. It was an unstable night.

I know, buy a new 992 MT on your own! However, it is a contradiction that I can't stand the disappearance of Carrera.

Moreover, everything is still in the "imaginary stage". It is a story that it is useless just to worry.

Yeah, I'm too suspicious (laughs).

... Hmm, this is already ... For the time being, drink ^^.
