Dude, please. New supercar in 2010? If it happens, Porsche will release teaser drawings 3 -4 years out. A proto will be built and begin testing 2 -3 years out. Orders with huge deposits will begin to be taken 1 - 2 years out.

None of this has happened. P may indeed build another supercar ( and I hope they do), but it ain't coming in 2010.

That looks like a realistic evolution for the car. I hope that porsche decides to do something like that.

Hi
can you tell us about the recall and lawsuit issues? or if not on the forum, please PM me, curious about that.
thanks

Wasn't the CGT originally in development for racing, which then didn't materialize? Development costs are astronomical, and I seriously doubt "the most profitable car-company in the world" would go through the process purely as a passenger car. My guess is this type of vehicle makes a terrible business case, as what they'd have to charge for it would be double the CGT. Porsche knows where their bread gets buttered and I'm sure they'd rather leave the rareified air to Ferrari, Bugatti, Koni, etc. and sell more SUVs & sedans (sigh !).

the recalls were on head lights, clutch bearings, a few other things. i dont remember everything i just know when i took my car in for an oil change(which you need to change every year even if you don't have any miles on your car), as for law suits i heard of qutie a few, one being Ben a former member who sadly died from a mishap. they said the car is designed unsafely, and unstable at certain speed, once again i do not know the details.
