Had two of them and loved them except for the reliability issues and extremely high prices.
If Porsche makes this one, ......................damn, depending on the specs and final product I may have to pick one up. Much nicer IMO than the 997. Let's just hope they put the TT V8 from the Cayenne S and not play games with keeping it from shadowing the 997 line which they did with the Cayman that would lap a 997 with the same motor.

I like this. B/C the Boxster and Coxster just still look 911ish. I like this, its different but speaks Porsche.

Yup, 928 was a dream car of mine, too, as a child. I hope they produce it. It would be nice to see Porche do something with a front engine/RWD platform again.

The Porsche Panarema, if what has been reported of it's expected price range is accurate, is a class above the Mercedes CLS. I think it will be a more direct competitor of the 4 door Aston Martin that has been planned.
