FINALLY!!!!!!
Porsche is back!
After putting up with a sub-par effort with the 996 since 1999, it is SO refreshing to see Porsche learn from their mistakes, get angry and come back with a vengeance!!!
Too much harm (as in Laagay) had been done to the 996...It was a compromise and a feeble attempt to fool the Porschefiles into accepting the child of a lesser god, for the benefit of Porsches profit margins.
No more will we have to listen to their propaganda cronies tell us why we should like it, even though the 996 look SUCKED, inside AND out!
The weight of frustration was lifted off my shoulders, when I accepted The Auto Galleries invitation to come see the new 997, last Saturday.
Ding, Dong, the witch is dead!
New Coke is out and Coke classic is back!
Talk about love at first site!!!!
The new car looks SOOO good in person, I wanted to leave my A8 there and drive one home.
In fact, the Auto Gallery sold the three 997’s they had, that afternoon.
No compromises on the 997!
Now THIS is a Porsche!
This car will NEVER go out of style!
It will go down in history as a great Porsche collectable.
Inside and out, it is ABSOLUTELY right.
Both in design, technology and performance.
Sit in it and you say…OK, it’s $80G’s but it’s worth it!
It’s special!
I can’t tell you how many people who have told me that after riding in the old 996, that they couldn’t believe how cheap it was and how it was no better than the Boxster.
Obviously, Porsche got the message and we are ALL thankful!
Since our inception, Auto Spies has only given one 5-sheild ranking to a vehicle and that was for the Range Rover.
We’re pleased to announce that now there are two.
The 2005 Porsche 997 and 997S- Auto Spies ranking- Five shields (out of five)
Congratulations, Porsche.
For a job well done.
That's why there is a nine month wait to get one...
Hmmm....maybe there is a hidden message in this design exercise for BMW...We can only hope!
Mr. Panke, I sure hope you're reading this!
