July 2011 issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Cars has great article on the 968 (pages 30-35). On page 35 author writes about "the best for last" and further states "all the expected modern features are present on the 968, including dual front airbags, ABS, and four-piston calipers on all four disc brakes. If you are looking for a unique, modern day sports car that looks great and compares well in every way to modern day competition, you should give the 968 a look. Just be prepared to be approached by less savvy car fans and asked, "Is this a new Porsche Model?""
The Editor, David La Chance, has written 3 968 related articles so far:
- 5 Great Porsches for First Time Owners (Mar 2009)
- Buyer's Guide - Porsche 968 (Apr 2010 - included "Minty")
- Porsches for the Frugal, 968: The best for last (Jul 2011)
I just sent a complimentary letter to David for his most recent article. Sure nice when our vehicles get praised.
lol I had my 968 out the other day and was asked if it was the "new 911 replacement" by an older guy. He was shocked to hear the car was almost 20 years old.

David is a great guy. It was a nice experience to work with him and help get alot of the erronious 968 information out there fixed. Here are a couple of Hemming's links with his Porsche work:
