It's needed because it gives Porsche a complete line up, a model between the Carrera GT Supercar (V10) and the rest of the six cylinder cars.

Yes I have driven a Boxster. I also blow their doors off on a regular basis. Make mine a V8 please.

Ever played with one at the track?

No, I haven't played with one on the track. I'm sure they're fun. Sorry though, Boxster's are becoming like Corvette's, everyone has one.

A new 928 gives Porsche a broader line up appealing to more buyers, does it not??? There doesn't appear to be much variety on Porsche's showroom floor these days to me.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

I'll bite.....????? please decipher?

"Rolling On The Floor Laughing My *** Off"

Not much variety?

Let's see 996, C4, C4S - all in Cab, turbo - soon in Cab, GT2, GT3, X50, 986, 986S, CayenneS, Cayenne Turbo, GT3 Cup, soon GT3RS street version, GT3RS race car.........am I forgetting anything???

Looks like quite a bit of variety to me. Maybe it's your wallet that lacks variety?

"It's needed because it gives Porsche a complete line up, a model between the Carrera GT Supercar (V10) and the rest of the six cylinder cars. "

This implies that number of cylinders is *the* key factor defining a car and any 6 cylinder car is relegated to "the rest." I don't think that's the case.

btw, I like 928s, but just don't agree that cylinder count is that important. I know my dad would agree with you though having grown up in the 50's / 60's with an interest in American steel. Interestingly, the 928 is his favorite car...

yup, 40th anniv edition 911 and upcomming 3.2 V6 Cayenne

I think the point with model selsction is:

996 and variants
986 and variants
Cayenne and variants

I am not sure if there any CGTs on the "showroom floor"

I think Porsche needs to wake up to the fact that its being blown away in this quest for power numbers. 415hp? on the turbo? Big whup compared to some very capabale MB, BMW, audi.

Sure power isn't everything, but its alwasy been important at Porsche.

DAYUM that was just cruel! (But funny as hell )

And Targa.

I have to admit that despite the crap car that they are BMW M3's at 333HP and 3100lbs give my sphincter muscle a pucker when I see them on the street (lots of them...no exclusivity like Porsche so I drive around listening to sphincter music). The same is true of Mercs AMG 55, and a few others...hell... WRX's!

Because your dad knows that "there is no replacement for displacement".

That was a little rough. Sorry.
