I don't thing that a model which has already been elected as car of the year can be again. Even if there is a new engine.

They make the car look more solid... problem is with a car like that, what wheels are there to choose? the design means that the wheels would have to look quiite solid, as it looks like a lead car, not a flamboyant one, so you can put very light 4 spoke wheels on it.

It doesnt mean there arent any other good sports cars, it just shows how incredible the 928 was when it came out!

My uncle has one, he's owned it for almost 20 years now... we went for a drive on a twisty mountain road 2 summers ago and it was amazing how fast it still was!

was your friend insured to get the vehicle's full value?
