Oh yeah

I'd take the Cayman. It's the only one of the newer cars I like.

If I had to choose and actually keep it... I would probably choose the Cayenne Turbo. It would best fit my life style and needs.

I'd like a GT3, please. A Cayman S would do in a pinch.

Paul, I think we've heard it often enough from you. I doubt anyone is still unclear regarding your general disdain for Porsches.

Not distain, really...as much as my legs are too long for 'em. An uncomfortable driver is an unhappy driver. I fit in the '72 just fine, but when they went to all wheel drive, the new body enabling that removed a lot of front legroom.

To clarify, I don't think I'd be happy driving any of the new Porsches...

I'd take the 911. Don't recognize any of the other ones. They look weird.

+1. A 996 GT3 would do if the 997 isn't available.

All that photo needs is Ferry standing in front, with a tag line reading "we used to have a line-up of sports cars..."

Cayman is winning in a landslide it seems.

Not one single vote for the Truck.
