Don't get me wrong, I had a 924 Turbo when they first came out. I loved to drive that car, but it spent so much time at the Houston dealer, I let them keep it.
They were quite well balanced but the opposite polar moment from a Boxster. All the weight was split at the two ends. I prefer all the weight in the middle with a low polar moment that lets you hang the car out easily and catch it easily, at the angle you want.
A 944 was probably easier to drive at 80% but much harder to drive at 99%.

they are all rumors at this point. VW is calling the shots we will see if the 356 / baby boxster happens at all. I heard it is to be built on the vw bluesport chassis with a porsche built flat 4 .
