The return of the 928?

I like it!

Hey, why not?

I always liked to original and it still looks good. Amazing when you think of how old the design is.

The front fender vent line messes it up.

Great idea, but the front looks too Corvette-ish for my taste.

I like it, and would drive it. I've been in love with 928 since the movie "Weird Science." And this generation looks fantastic too. My Panamera lease is up soon I hope I can get one of these.

Could Sniper afford that on a Ninja's salary?

I like it but will look better with less rake on the underside of the car behind the rear wheel. I don't think that rear end will pass safety regulations anyway, it will cause a car to go under it in a rear end collision.

Think it will boost S4 and GT pricing to where GTS pricing is today.

Agreed - it jumps up a bit too quickly and I think it'd be better without the corvette-esque door stamping but overall looks nice and it'll be great to see if it really goes to production.

Still holding out for the "new" 914 2-seater!

Well, I didn't listen. The 928 looks good (although not current). Kelly LeBrock, not so much.
