I'm a bit of a "Porsche Purist", what others may call a snob. For the most part, I like my Porsches to be original, true to what the manufacturer intended with little to no modifications.

A lot of Porschephiles might say they are not fans of the Porsche Cayenne. To some, the truck is an insult to the Porsche racing heritage; others say it is simply not right to have an SUV in the line-up of what is otherwise the most revered sports car company in the world.

MotorTrend's Arthur St. Antoine just released his review of the 2008 Porsche 911 GT2. To say he liked it would be an understatement. "Imagine a Porsche that combines the blown thrust of the 911 Turbo, the tango-champion agility of the 911 GT3, and an extra-generous seasoning of Zuffenhausen alchemy-that's the $192,560 GT2."
