My one buddy had a 924 turbo, it cost him a **** load of money to fix when it broke. Eventhough most of the parts were stamped vw audi. It was a preety cool car, that is until it caught fire.

Well I guess I'm alowed to least say something here.

I've always wanted a Porsche and my girl wanted a SUV that wasnt to big so we traded in her IS300 and got a Cayenne S. Its pretty fast with the V8 but I'm pushing 22's and it has all wheel drive. I like the room inside, the power and the fact everytime I pull up to at a stop light I dont see my same car next to me.

I hear you on that. I just don't like that fact its a Porsche. I understand they are doing what makes them money. Nevertheless, when I think Porsche....I consider the Cayenne a blasphemous act that strays from their roots for the sake of $$. Kinda like when a band is a "sell-out".



Just my 2cents.

I hear you, but its absurd to think that a car company would continue to make only sports cars when the average U.S. driver has completely lost his mind and chooses to drive a fat, wallowing SUV. Sales of sports coupes was not going to keep Porsche in business. Where's the Toyota Supra? Where's the Mazda RX-7? When all you make is sports cars and people aren't buying sports cars, you've got a problem. Give the Porsche people credit for trying to find a niche in the SUV market.



In business, it's either adapt or die. I'm glad Porsche is trying to adapt.

Not posing symbol;









The 911 is the most successful racecar of all time don't forget. They weren't all pink cabrios.

I always liked the 928. I hear they can be a bit expensive to keep on the road, but I guess that comes with the (Porsche) territory.

So glad to finally find out what I am driving. But do I detect a little "Guido Posing symbols" envy?

How can the 911 not be included on anyone's "real Porsche" list? They've been making the car for 40 years.
