Ain't that the truth. But, I figure if C&D *and* a few other sites actually all manage to report on something that has a source that's either actual spy-shots that are obvious or from the manufacturers themselves, it's likely a good chance that it's truthful. I just hate how advertising has determined pricing, which brings the quality of content down, rather than the other way around, where quality content demands higher pricing for advertisements.

Because Porsche is for the high end clubs only?

IDK, Mercedes said Porsche came from a low-end one recently. I'll ask Lexus what she thinks.
Thus, "opinion". Everyone's got them. I don't care about most of 'em.

Maybe they upgrade as they move up the ranks? NEVER go see stripper named Lada!

She's not that bad. Then again, I may have had too much Stoli.

The Porsche's I have seen inside and outside of clubs, where not at high end places

The more and more I think about it, the introduction of a 255hp 4 cylinder Supra effectively KILLS a 250hp 86 (or BRZ). Too close to the Supra.
I bet it gets to about 230 hp and a few more torque, probably a nicer interior and still has an available manual. I'd have the Supra in my garage right now, IF it had a manual. In 10 years, maybe NO ONE offers a manual transmission....which is sad. |

Think more along the lines of hybrid 2 door IS250 with a boxer.

But anyway, an N.A. 2.4 86 making 230 up to even 250hp but right at ~7000rpm would be *significantly* slower than the 255hp turbo 4cylinder Supra that will probably make more than 255 at the crank over nearly half its rev range. Despite the 4cyl Supra having "inferior" peak rated power to weight. So it's not even an issue. Here's to a no-weight-gain 2nd gen with a 225-240ish horsepower 2.4. It *could* happen |
