I like ALL pcars! Except maybe the 924's. I'm on my third 911. If I can get a TT in reach I won't think back. The wide body ever since the 930 is the pinnacle to me and reminds me of Raquel Welch and Sophia Loren. I've a got license plate coming with the word 'ZAFTIG' on it. Def = Adjective: (of a woman) Having a full, rounded figure; plump. I plan on having that plate until I land the TT.......until than it will be on my C4. That has a nice a$$ too.

I want to make my rear even wider looking, so a nice deep dish wheel package might do the trick

Wife and I are planning to start a family shortly so I am looking to purchase the least expensive, most fuel efficient, safe, cargo and pet friendly vehicle I can find so that I can use "other" funds to purchase as many P-cars as possible.

Front runner is definately a new Subaru Outback with the flat 4 and CVT trans.
You'll be hard pressed to find a vehicle that can compete for the same $$$.

I love my C2 but I would love to have a C4S as well. I am, without a doubt...

an assman.

And I don't like the 924 either.

I would suggest a Cayenne as your family hauler, but it's not inexpensive, it gets terrible gas mileage and the cargo capacity is somewhat limited. Other than that, we love ours!

I thought that the C4S is actually slower than the standard because the body kit aerodynamics' slow it down???.

Yes I was right.

from Wiki.

911 Carrera 4 316 hp (236 kW) @ 6800 rpm, 3.6L dry-sump 5.0 s 177 mph (285 km/h)
911 Carrera 4S 316 hp (236 kW) @ 6800 rpm, 3.6L dry-sump 5.1 s 174 mph (280 km/h)

But I have to say I would still have an S

Why carry all that extra weight for nothing?

Just my opinion.
I'll bet All those stickers weigh about as much as the extra weight of the widebody

I have the 4S and love It!
During 2010 I have used my 4S on the Nürburgring, the Spa Francorchamps, driving to work, driving the kids to kindergarten, in the snow (live in Sweden...)! And 4S dose all this without any problems and still gives me a smile everyday.
