4-door Porsche, is it a sin?

Im waiting for a Porsche station wagon.
Fuckin shame.

I remember when RSK's were a hot little road racin machine with minimal creature comforts and could turn on a dime.

Fuckin shame

sold out to The Man.

damn Man.

They already make a station wagon. It's called a Cayenne:



I agree that it's a sin. But I'm not entirely opposed to sinning.....

oh please, I was eating breakfast.

appetite zero.

The Porsche Cayenne IS NOT a station wagon, its an SUV (which has the distinction of being rated THE WORST SUV by Consumer Reports). No, I mean a real goddam grocery shopping newfoundland carrying suburban station wagon like Volvo makes.

Hm, looks a lot like the 4-door Maserati (which is selling quite well these days)

Well they look like station wagons to me.

Certainly not the car I would choose for myself but if Mr. B came home saying "Honey, I brought you a little present!" and I went outside and found a Porche station wagon I'd be pretty cool with it.

I'm sticking with my 911 coupe

Too noisy, too bumpy and not secure enough. There are too many Hummers out there ready to crash you.

I really like the 911, in red, 1988 model. (Especially, since I now remember how to adjust the heating.)

Yes, yes, all very well -- but does it have cup holders?

No problem in practice. Dys drives right underneath them.

Dys' porsche is neato.. I love the sound and expect the bumps. On hummers.. oy, creatures from a bad movie. I used to own a succession of small vehicles, an mgb, fiat spyder, and so on. It could get a bit scary on the LA freeways sometimes, even back then, which was before the giant suvs and the hummers.

neato

I don't know, the design of the 4-door porsche doesn't intrigue me. I'd rather
buy a Maserati, if I was in the market of buying such a car.

I agree on that, CJ. Though the photos are from different angles, the maserati doesn't seem completely ugly.

I'd much rather own the 2-wheel, no-door model than any other one here.

One of my neighbors has the Maserati and it's quite elegant looking. I like the
classic design.

the "original" porsche was the 356 - born 7 july 1948 - it was a VW-BEETLE in a fancy dress - motor , chassis , drivetrain and brakes were lifted from the BEETLE - it got a new dress - and there it was : the PORSCHE 356 !



PORSCHE # 1 - 1,100 cc engine "souped" to deliver 35 hp !

[that was the type of engine still used in our first VW - a 1959 - 1,100 cc model - that we drove for nine years - the bottom fell out in the end - didn't like the salt on the canadian roads .
it was replaced by a 1969 - 1,5oo cc BEETLE - 48 hp !!!
it had four seatbelts (shoulder belts for the front passengers) and a rear-window defroster - ehbeth no longer had to sit sit in the back with an ice scraper during the winter months ]
