Unfortunately Porsche lost that battle when vw took over.

Are you guys kidding? This going to be probably one of the purest Porsches built in a loooong time. It follows the original philosophy closer than any other current Porsche, and 6 seconds isn't exactly 'slow'. Actually it's pretty good for a car that will weigh around 2,500 lbs. I'm so excited for this car. Manual top, 6spd, light weight, small... It's going to be awesome!

Carrera...................Shhhhhh!!! ^^^

in my honest opinion I don't care about the car or it's performance-what I'm interested in seeing is the base price. That will dictate how successful it'll be here in the States.
