I believe it would sell.

It would sell and would irritate current Porsche owners......I own a GTI and don't think a Porsche around this price point is neccesary.

current lineup is damn near perfect. build a new supercar in the next few years to get us all excited like the CGT did

HaHaHa! That is some funny chit. after you were done laughing and pulled yourself off the floor did you ask him what he had been smoking? Makes me soooooooo appreciative that our current RM has a background in the retail side of things. IMO in a perfect world that would be great, but perfect, that's one thing it def ain't.

hope all is well Brian. don't forget to give me a shout if ya need something!
