Some of it has to do with what mikefocke said, " toys of our youth that we didn't have then that we now can have". The 993 is the one Porsche purist real want as the last air-cooled Porsche. For me it`s the 930 turbo, and I would love to have one someday. It was the very first Porsche that I drove as a teenager working at a garage as a summer student. Would I buy one if I had the money? Probably not, I would probably get something newer with more power and better handling.
