Yes :-) Active Lane Assist & InnoDrive confirmed in order to keep you in the lane even on twisting roads. Now you can finally read a book while driving that boring mountain pass road! The future looks bright!

My 944 has an air conditioned glove box. It does a great job of keeping a bottle of water cool.

Absolutely! I imagine 30-40% will change their opinion after Nov 30th / official debut. Another 30-40% after seeing the car in real life. Remaining 20-40% will continue contributing to this specific thread. ;-)

I think I've seen enough of it in general to not put it on my immediate list for future purchase. I'm sure it will drive extremely well,....and yes I want to see it,.....but for now it equates to dating a homely chick (especially the interior) that's great in bed, but you just can't get past the looks.

Yes, that’s exactly what happened when Porsche introduced the 996...

Optimism is such a nice quality to have among those who can't see the forrest for the trees.


If you need help with that , please allow me : The car industry is in a complete free fall but while it's going down everyone is distracted by all the face value glitter.

This is the fault of the government regulations that unfortunately we control with our tolerance and votes and it's also the fault of these manufactures that , guess what , we also control with our tolerance and votes (voting with our dollars as STG has said).

So basically the reason the industry is in free fall is because the general masses accept the garbage being shoveled at them with open arms and optimism that it's all for the best.

Face value products produced for a face value society.
Do you see the trees yet?

Nice speech! ;-) Though, still no trees in sight yet. I do see you however in stage 2 in the Kuebler-Ross model. ;-)
