time for me to add my $9.28 to this topic
I am constantly amazed at how little is mentioned about the 928 outside of forums... Excellence, 911 & Porsche World etc should just be called 911 & Boxster magazines... maybe 2-3 times a year I see an article that only rehashes the same generic bs
lets be honest .. the 928 would have easily rivaled sales of the 911 if it weren't for the price
a 77-78 928 cost $28-30, that was 3 TIMES the price of the best V8 vehicles in the US, a 95GTS was $100k+
that being said, the 928 was pure genius in that the innovations it brought to the auto world continue today:
Weissach transaxle
passive rear wheel toe-in
neoprene bumper covers
tilt wheel w/moving cluster to ensure sight of gauges
the 1990 S4 was the 1st car with STANDARD dual airbags
and you can basically thank Audi for the 924/944/968 series.. but I'll save that for another day
