you're probably right, the 8-pot will be too different from the 911 to be called the same thing...
one thing's for sure... im glad Porsche are increasing their product line... not that i have anything against the 911 and Boxster, the 911 is my favourite car, its just that i love Porsche, and it seems there will soon be more models than ever! long live Porsche!
it´s not that i don´t like porsche but sportscar-company´s shouldn´t make too many different models!
maybe 1 or 2 more won´t be bad for porsche but not too many
Ferrari is making 4 at the moment: 360, 575M, 456 GT, and Enzo.
Before the Cayenne Porsche only had 2: 911 and Boxster!
I know there are many different versions of the 911 but its essentially the same car! i think its good for Porsche to expand its model range
