Porsche Continues to Spice Things Up
 
http://autoweek.com/storyimage/CW/20...sche-Cajun.jpg

Porsche Greenlights Production of . . . the Cajun

2013 Model Based on Audi . . . Diesel Option?

While precise details on the Cajun itself are yet to be revealed, we expect it will lean heavily on Audi and Volkswagen shared parts, including a 3.0-liter diesel TDI engine good for something like 310 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. A gasoline version is also a certainty, with early indications that a turbocharged four-cylinder engine could get the nod.

If its not a 911 it doesn't count.:D

Also everyone knows air cooled 911's are the best.:cool::D

Yeah, sellouts. Ferrari's lost it, too. I think the best stuff's already been made.

Jorn 10-29-2011 04:23 PM

I wouldn't say no to a Panamera turbo.

The Swede 10-29-2011 04:27 PM

Nor would I. Or this either...

Not bad either: haven't seen one in the wild yet.

The Swede 10-29-2011 04:54 PM

Just a matter of time in LA.

It would be a rare sight in Minneapolis. However exotics do exist here, mainly tucked away in people's garages. :rolleyes:

Brand dilution. Profit now, lose out later. I think the Boxster and Cayman are ok. I'm ambivalent about the Panamera. The Cayenne and this new thing they're coming out with are abominations.

Jorn 10-29-2011 05:38 PM

A Panamera coupe would be nice, something similar to a 928.

*yawn* another trucklet.

Not a bad idea really. Make a vehicle for the guy wanting a Porsche, which his wife won't let him have because of the kids.

Hatterasguy 10-29-2011 06:39 PM

Maybe one day such a buyer will let his balls come down again and buy a 911, and the kids can ride in the back, and the GF who is 20 will replace the wife.:D;)

Skippy 10-29-2011 07:35 PM

I thought the 911 back seat was for kids. You sure can't get a normal sized adult back there. OTOH, the trunk on the classic 911 is surprisingly spacious. It seems to have gotten smaller with every redesign.
