A new P car? Not all that unattainable. Invest if your job isn't getting you there. Flip homes, flip cars, stocks, whatever. If it's what you want, do more to get it.
I have 2-brand new 911 turbos in college
I'm also not sure the value new is so justifyable unless money really isn't any issue
Seems the second hand market has a lot of bang for the buck keeping in mind that maintenance costs used or new are the same
Only justifiable point for new is there should be no repair costs for several years

They have been saying it is dead for years and yet the rumors

and supposed prototypes still abound. Some will see it as a car that would have diluted the brand and cheapened the porsche name. With the rate the Macan is selling, they will be on every street corner pretty soon so brand dilution is not something I really worry about. A four cylinder (356, 914, 924/44/68, 550, etc.) would have been just fine and is just as big a part of porsche heritage as the flat six is. If they could have got this thing to the close to the size and weight of a miata with the potential power of the turbo four, it could have been a giant killer.
