Porsche Forum?

Don't know where that line of thinking eminates from ?

My '05 911 Carrera S cost $113,000 out the door.

Had the $10,000 option yellow Carbon Composit Ceramic Brakes.

$20,000 would likely pay for the interior on that 911 !

IIRC, that "$20k" info was in regards to early 911's....60's and 70's cars.

STAY AWAY from the Cayenne, too heavy. It's a bloated overly electronic truck and go drive a Panamera if you want to see what it's like to hustle in a tank, but forget owning one, way too ugly and it's nothing but a poorly running Windows PC with 4 doors… and no rearward visibility.

IMO, the Cayenne and Panamera are Porsches in name only....

And for people who only care about the name on the vehicle they drive, then that is simply perfect.

What percentage of the Porsche Owners actually drive their cars, track, mountains, or otherwise, in your opinions?

My '98 Boxster may not be 300+ hp strong (heck, not even 200 at this point in time), and doesn't have DFI tech goodness, but from the moment I fire up that engine (nearly 100k), and release that clutch, to the moment I back it into the garage at the end of the day, my day is nothing more than a stream of corners, stringed together by the music behind my head, and a smile that lasts long after 9 quarts of oil has drained back into the sump.

As for the person who said that they don't like mid engine cars because you can't see the motor, how many front engined cars are out there that you can you see the engine while driving?

Unless you're just talking about popping the hood to see the naughty bits that make things go. Its really not that bad getting access to the Boxster engine. Maybe 5 to 10 minutes worth of work?

BC.

The Panamera is a really nice car to be a passenger in I felt though and I don't find the looks that offensive plus I'm jackass enough that since it's a hatchback, it would be put to the task of carrying a large object at some point that barely fits if I owned one.
