Default New 928???

I went home for christmas and my mother said she saw this car article in one of her magazines. I almost died of laughter when I saw it. Could this be the new 928? It has a V8, looks like a 928 and even was tastefully designated the 938 S.

The front end kinda looks like the old AMC Pacer. IMO the following people need to be shot:

1- The owner. For spending money on that pile.
2 - The guy that photographed it and wrote the story. If this was two people then they both are done.
3 - The editor that agreed to the article.
4 - Whover actually preformed the work. I am sure they got paid but I once paid a guy $20 to eat a piece of dog crap and everyone though he was an idiot. The same thing applies here.

Not possible. It's too nice looking to be a 928.

And much lighter too. But you can see the 928 influence in the rear end and that was why I thought it must be the natural evolution of the 928.

So from the pictures we might conclude that the AMC pacer was the vision for the 928 but it fell short?

It's called putting lipstick on a pig. They had to try something to make it look better.

ummmm... it IS a pacer...

It even says so above the word "change", though the letter 'P' and half of the 'a' is cropped off... but the "cer" is still there.
