Default They don't make them like they used to...

My local dealer in Barcelona sees dozens of cars a day, many Boxsters, 996s and Cayennes like the Turbo pictured here, but I've yet to see another 944 cab, let alone a boosted one.

Maybe it's just my take from what I see, but the cars I see at the dealer seem much more mass produced than ours. Is it just my impression that they don't make them like they used to?

I've been separated from this car for 2 months now. I see modern Porsche models locally every now and then, and they are tempting, but then I look at pics of the 951 and I get all mushy and sentimental. It's so different from what Porsche makes now. These cars are from back when they coined that marketing slogan "There is no substitute." Not so sure about the current ones.

Luis de Prat - beatiful black cab! And even a Turbo.

Depending on what everyone paid for their car - this could be good or bad - but at the prices they sell for these days it doesn't make sense to trade them in to fund another Porsche (if you have a tight attachment to them). Keep 'em and add another!
