This would have been too easy. Besides they have to protect their bread and butter and the GT4 is already making a name for itself.

Bread and Butter? I think that title belongs to the Cayenne and Macan now. I believe the SUV sales dominate the car sales.

But hey - having spent a week in a Cayenne service loaner - they are damn fine automobiles. Very nice to drive.

Thanks for the correction. I should have said their Icon.

The only reason the 911 & 356 weren't mid engined in the first place is because they wanted a back seat (or a close approximation) to appeal to a broader base when they were first created. Porsche himself wanted a mid engine but was convinced by others that a rear seat was needed.

So what goes around comes around.

I know there were rumors before, calling it a 'Rear-Forward' mounted position

Still need more Straightway speed. I thought this is were there was talk about a Flat 8.
