Back then, many in Porsche felt that the 911 could fall foul of US legislation on safety and emissions.

Judging by the lukewarm reception the latest (over) refinement of the 911, maybe now is the time for a new Grand Tourer to replace the old war horse.  Then they could knock out a version of the Cayman with 400hp, semi stripped interior, rollcage and carbon ceramics as standard...  That's just me then is it?

No, it's not just you.  I think Porsche will have to re-appraise it's model line up soon, and I vote for the Cayman, or a derivation of it, to become its new Uber car.

As for the 928, I have nearly bought one on a couple of occasions.  Last time was a couple of years ago when I was offered a white GTS manual for £10k.  Why oh why didn't I take it!!
