of the new Porsche showroom is next week so I will get a chance to check it out as well. It will be interesting to see what type of market develops for the car.

I remember 20 years ago when I got picked up at the airport in Germany by Siemens in a VW bus. They threw the bags in the back and everything was normal until they hit the autobahn...and then swoosh. They started passing everything in sight...seems like the little VW bus have been tricked up and they had dropped a porsche engine in.

As an American, I tend to think of fast cars as drivers cars - not as something to transport passengers. I wonder if they will be able to change perceptions?
