One thing. I now see a real reason why Lexus should really needs to update the SC.

They should update alot of cars plus have a few more model ranges available. They should use their new found knowledge in sports car through the LF-A and IS-F to build more sportier models to compliment the comfortable line of cars. It seems MB has a new model coming out every single year because they have so many model ranges. It's refreshing to have many new model vehicles even if its not the best business plan.

I remember falling in love with the 928 when I was a kid. I loved it in Weird Science.

As a kid I preferred 911's. I guess I'm still a kid now.

+1 it was Risky Business for me (best engine/exhaust sound during chase scene since Bullitt)

Guess the Panamera wasn't a bad move if this comes out of it.

So, you want lots of new models even if it causes the company to loose money (or make less money).


I do agree the SC is due though. How many years did the 1SC run for?

1992-2000, but I think only available to 1998 in Canada because of slow sales ...

Not bad. I don't really like it but I can definitely see this as a new direction for Porsche.

anyone see a little Jag in the 1st picture and a little C5/V8 Vantage along the side of the car in the second pic?

I recently sold my 928S4. Great car, expensive and problematic.
Here, when I just about lost faith in Porsche designs with the hideous Panamera, this appears. Wow, truly a functional design and gorgeous.
