The R8, and these potential italians and brits will only re-focus Porsche on making the 911 that much better.

Heck, I'd be satisfied with a cool modified Cayman S. :D Mid-engine chassis dynamics, and low boxer CG, FTW.

I just wonder how an 80-120k Maserati coupe deals with the 8C Competizione, and the rumored Ferrari Dino revival.

Jaguar no longer has to worry about in-fighting with the Aston Vantage V8, they are separated from each other, and from Ford. Neither worry about TVR, since it has pretty much disappeared, unfortunately.

And I don't mean that to be kind to Porsche. Frankly, I think the 911 is kind of idiotic--a series of compensations (admittedly brilliant ones) for an outdated and less-than-optimal layout.]]>Jan 31st 2008 7:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/

So, why do they want to sell 12,000 cars a year.]]>Jan 31st 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/Jan 31st 2008 7:43PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/Jan 31st 2008 8:26PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/Jan 31st 2008 8:48PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/Jan 31st 2008 9:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/Jan 31st 2008 10:44PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/
Sure they may build a car that is faster, more comfortable and superior in nearly every way shape and form (see Corvette) but whatever goes after the 911 lacks a key ingredient when trying to compete with the 911 and would you like to know what that is? It's not 911, duh.

Que the Hyundai DUH music please.]]>Feb 1st 2008 1:28AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/as long as its not a new gen 911 it wont kill the 911. itll need to be something amazing (ala GT-R which people still complain about) to give it a slight shove. porsche is the benchmark. look how great the infiniti g35/37 is and bmw is still the best (even though its $5-7k more). its been around for generations and people will always pay for the brand name over the snoozy competitor.
on the other hand, this competition will make the 911 better. ]]>Feb 1st 2008 6:40AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/31/maserati-preparing-911-killer/
The Chicane concept has serious potential. It's got a beautiful organic/female looking design somewhat like the new Alfa. I do think it would be a real hit and I can't wait to buy one (once it's 10 years old and I can afford it). ]]>Feb 1st 2008 8:25AM
