Whichever one is most expensive. Then I'd sell it, buy a real Porsche and have money left over for mods.

Some say it's a huffer, any huffer. I doan know, seems like there were some weak moments in the history of Porsche. But, I don't think every car that rolled out of Mercedes and BMW was a total winner.

If I had to choose one, can I test drive them first? In the first two spots would be the Cayman and 911. Which would be first? I don't know without driving both. Then boxster, then, I'm not sure which, a two-way tie for last between the Cayenne and PAnamera.

My first post was in answer to... "you have to pick one of these and actually drive the one you pick"

If however, something like this is an option, I'd go for this option.

I'd take the most expensive, sell it and buy a different 911 and have money left over for mods or another car. How about an older GT3 or GT2 with the money or a 993 or a much, much older classic in really amazing shape? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Caymen, love the rear styling. Had a chance to drive one. The view from the cockpit was nice. Lots of bulging fenders and very snug steering in your hands.
My wife thinks my 88 is eye catching so I suppose that is all that matters.
