The 924 was the Cadillac Cimarron of Porsches.
Speaking of the Cadillac Cimarron. How did that work out for Caddy?
I don't see the incentive for Porsche to have an entry level car in the lineup.

The 924 begat the 944(which saved Porsches' bacon in the 80s) and the superb 951. And they sold the first gen 924 from 76-82, then the much-improved 924S.
Calling the 924 the Cimarron of Porsche is inaccurate.
I miss the days when Porsche actually had a diverse line-up--In my opinion,the Boxster, Cayman, and 911 share too many styling cues. A line-up similar to the 80's cars would be great--924S, 944(base, S2, turbo and cab) , the 911 variants, and the 928--something for everyone.
