6 Reasons to Buy a Porsche 911 Over a C8 Corvette
If the Porsche brand isn't enough, here are 5 reasons why you're better off getting the new 911 over the new Corvette.
Exclusivity
The simple fact that the Porsche 911 is less affordable than the American-made Chevy Corvette means that there are far fewer Porsches on the road than Corvettes. Those who make the investment in the 911 (yes, it's an investment), get to be part of an exclusive club.
Legendary Lineage
The story of Porsche, and particularly the 911, has a massive presence in the history of the automobile. And since the creation of the very first 911, the pedigree of the Porsche sports car is made up of a long list of truly remarkable vehicles. Every generation of the 911 has a distinct and powerful character. And the brand's designers and executives have done an amazing job in preserving its spirit.
Porsche Products Hold Their Value
We all know how rapidly the resale value of old Porsches has been increasing. 993s are worth more now than when they were new! And while the 996 has seemingly not caught the same wave of enthusiasm yet, it's really only a matter of time before everyone starts to truly appreciate the amazingly underrated driving experience of these machines.
Driver's car AND luxury car
Porsche is well-known for building sports cars. And while they've continued to maintain that fun-loving character, there's no denying the supreme level of luxury that comes with every Porsche product these days. And that's what sets Porsche apart. Not only can a 911 owner experience the most engaging driving dynamics out of anything else on the road, but they can do it in the utmost style and comfort.
Tasteful Following
Partially due its exclusivity, as well as its rich character, the Porsche 911 tends to attract a more sophisticated crowd. Yes, we all know that Porsche owner who we'd rather not associate with. But realistically, I think most of us would agree that we would rather be in the company of other Porsche owners than a group of Corvette guys!
Best Driving Experience Known to Man
And finally, the bottom line, the value proposition of Porsche as a brand: the driving experience. Not all of us buy our Porsches to drive them to their fullest potential. But even casual Porsche owners are immediately addicted to the immersive sports car experience that is the Porsche 911.
