In today's Autocar it says that Porsche is planning a plug-in hybrid 911.

cmoose has probably got one on order. But that order is sure to be cancelled if the car turns out to have any of the following,

• turbo
• less than 6 cylinders
• power steering
• gears
• etc
• etc

Perhaps you'd like to bring everyone up to speed with my views on the Porsche range - or were you just making that bit up to suit your own view of the world?

this thread still going.....

the 911 hasn't evolved, it's gradually morphed.

i would say cars like the 7, 5 or 3 series, Caterham, Fiesta, Corolla have evolved.
Even a trad Morgan has evolved. A little bit.
But the 911's purpose and thus target market have changed. The typical buyer today is not the one buying in the 60s or 70s.

So remind me - what were my views on the Cayenne?

[Ozzie Osmond]

... or was that the Panamera?

Feel free to refer to either as you see fit.
