I wondered when this would happen and who would be first.

It sounds like a White Flag French Surrender to me.

Don't know if they are surrendering, I think a lot of manufacturers are moving toward lighter, smaller, faster. They do still make their Turbo S cars, and the Turbo S 911 is 0-60 in 2.6 and has 570HP ....... its the best car I have ever driven!

I have a 07 911 S non turbo..only 370 hp..its the driving/handling not sheer power..If I want power...thats why I have the Chevelle!! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Adjusting to new and European Union MPG and emissions rules, etc. Less of a surrender and more of an adaptation to reality.

Another example of a way over rated/priced foreign manufacture whining ... if they don't like the climate -- stay home!
