Default Porsche

who hates porsche ? Wouldn't you prefer any supercar over a porsche anytime ?

porsche is the only dull supercar i can think of. I don't actually mean it's dull , but when compared to ferrari's, Lambo's and the zonda. Porsche just doesn't seem very special anymore. The only porsche with interesting looks is the GT3 i think. The 911 Turbo looks too soft and timid for a supercar with its brilliant performace and build quality. And don't get me started on the Cayenne.

Porsche need to give a little style and special character to their cars. The type of style that Italian cars have.

Just compare this porsche 911 Turbo with the Ferrari Enzo .

I would rather have a 911. It is a car you can drive daily. The Enzo is more of a track car. Just a question: How many 911's could you buy with what costs to buy an Enzo?

well you can probably get 5 Turbos for the price of an enzo. The enzo might not be the best example but take the 360 modena its an everyday car just like the porsche, yet it still looks better, sounds better and is a better drive.

i love porsche, i love the CGT, i would definately take the CGT over the enzo, better looks, better interior, about equally fast, most likely far better build quality.
if u asked me to choose between a 360 or a 996 turbo, id take the 360, but if u asked me to choose between 360 and 993 turbo, id prolly take the turbo, i like the 993 looks ALOT.

I would take an Enzo.. with out thinking..

The 360 or 911 turbo.. .. 360 all the way.. just coz it's more exotic around here.. I just see them around weekends.. I would like to see it everday in my garage.. ..

I love Porshe .. Some of my family members and also friends own a turbo.. Some of my family members even own that big cayeene turbo..

Having owned a Porsche 911S for 10 years I can tell you there arent any sports cars I can think of that can give you the high degree of FUN and reliability that this company does.....and does consistently.

hey evo is there lots of cool cars in dubai.
I went there once and it was full of lots of white toyota camry taxies. I live in doha qatar and theres quite a few ferraris here. Since they opened a showroom a few year ago. Since the country is tiny you regularly see those cars. I even heard that some guy in qatar bought a Ferrai Enzo, although i never saw it.

I used to hate them with a passion until recently.I'm not sure what's the matter with me but I'm considering getting a boxster with the way used prices have came down.

I think the GT2 is more appropriate for the 360..........but even then, the 360 is special, and I am a Porshe fan! I would get the CGT over just about any car!

They are ok. Their refusal to put the engine in the middle where it belongs pisses me off. An engine should not be hanging out behind the rear axel. For the cost of any Porsche I would always choose another car over it. There for I would NEVER buy one even if I could afford one someday.

That said I do respect them for what they are, but they will never be the best.

You can't hate a car company, if you do you should go to a shrink you can't hate Porsche even if they have build a SUV. They are just a great automobile company!

Yeah but after showing how great it is in just about every driving condition or situation he goes on to point out how its so ugly he will not even drive it back to the studio, and walks back!! LOL I’m with Jeremy
