Ah I see--yeah kind of strange that they'd make them look like floating calipers...

As for your ideas of the porsche marque and where it has headed, I'm not sure I can agree. The very definition of "sports car" has changed over time. Would you not call a Ferrari 430 or a Lamborghini Gallardo a sports car either? Both of those are very refined these days and do cater to a luxury market.

Granted, they all sell more sporty versions of their cars for real racing or just for a more "hard-core" experience, but that does not mean they're in the same grouping as a 993--it's very difficult to compare idealogy and technology from different eras. Back then, the 993 followed the general description of a sports car--they all were rather inhumane inside the cabin.
