Ah gotcha, so it will still be a Cayman competitor on price.

Yeah it would be as an entirely new car. They might be able to extend the 4C tub, but I'm not sure what sort of processes go into that. Would be cool though :)

Interesting that it will cost less. Is that price reduction matched by the Cayman, or will it be in a different price bracket altogether?

I can't remember who said it, but someone said 'If you buy the Porsche you're making the same choice as countless other dentists and lawyers the world over'. It's a great car, but I'm a fan of automotive variety. The same sandwich every day gets boring, even if it's the best sandwich you can get.

That's never hindered the 911...

My thinking is that a V6 version could be marketed as a Maserati. Sort of like a mini-458 Italia.

More classics please :) if ever I amass a collection of any volume, I'd gladly offer them up to be road-tested.

Very jealous :) I'd love an Alfetta. It's on the shortlist for a project after my Spitfire 6.

Alfetta GTV or Giulia GTV? As far as I know they were both in production in 1975.

Ah interesting. If I was filthy rich, I'd love to take the Alfa Giulietta racing in the BTCC. I seem to remember looking up the technical regs and the Giulietta is a couple of millimetres short of the minimum length, but that could be solved by doing a limited run of Giulietta saloons based on the Dodge Dart body…

Interesting, and I think Jack's right.

Apparently not. The last gen A4 touring cars were RWD as well. It would be easier for them to do that mechanically as the engines are longitudinal. Not sure what the rules are homologation-wise, but I know AWD is banned.

Dude, nice garage :) I might have to get one for my 156, although I'll have to find a subtle place to put it

Perfect opportunity to say 'reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated'.

Fake diffusers. They're as bad as fake vents and fake exhaust pipes.

Do want an XJC, albeit the old one, not the potential new one.

Stuff like this pisses me off. Yes the 911 is a good car, but it's only achieving that price and sales volume because it's a status symbol.

I vote jokes, riddles and pop trivia displayed on the overhead electronic billboards normally used for weather warnings.

Good point. I'd just have to go nuts :) either that or fit some really, really chunky wheels.
