So what car do I want now?

The 944 is watercooled. Just isn't Porsche being water cooled. Just like modern VWs aren't really VWs since they're water cooled. Just hasn't been the same since the company got together with Audi.



I knew you were an aggie for a reason...

Lemme get this straight, you think since it's water cooled it's not a VW? A Vdub in your book must be air cooled? I'm not knockin air cooled engines. I've got a bud who drives a Beetle that clicked 196whp on the dyno. Air cooled. But, since VW started collaborating with Audi was when VW started to make some of the best cars they've ever engineered.

Civic SI :)



I just bought a new 2006 SI coupe in July. It is a FUN car to drive! B| It has a larger trunk than most small cars; but the back seat is limited.

If you are looking for transportation for just you, hottie, and the dog, it may be just fine. but if you are looking to haul around multiple skydivers and gear, most likely not the best choice...

The new 6 speed trans, 8k rev limit, and 200hp engine sure are fun though!!!

Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

VWs are vehicles based on the engine designed by F. Porsche. The new ones have the badge and the name, but don't have the same spirit and soul that the old aircooled designs have.

Maybe, maybe not. We'll have to see how many of them are still on the road after 60 years. Sure they're nice with modern engineering, infact I want to get a Jetta for my wife. They still don't have the soul of a 55 split window, a 21-window safari or a '67 ragtop.

ok ok ok...

lets not turn this into a air cooled/ water cooled debate...

belive it or not Im an old school water cooler.
My first ride (that I owned) was an 84 VW jetta.
Big cam, big injectors, upgraded ignition... that that was before tricking out imports was popular (1994)

any whoo...
keep the ideas coming...

Dude.. stop looking and get this:

http://seriouswheels.com/cars/top-2004-Audi-RS6-Avant-Plus.htm

Audi RS6 Avant.. I can't find the movie of the tuned version of that thing, but it smoked pretty much every sports car out there..





we had an Avant a couple of trips ago in France. NOICE cars.
its just a kicker what they want for a new one over here though. [:/]

No but neither does a 07 Chevy Silverado have the same charm as a 72 Cheyenne. 69 Camaro still aesthetically blows any of the new muscle cars out of the arena with style. Performance wise, the newer cars are leaps and bounds better. With technology comes advancement. You can't live on 60 year old engineering. To say something can't be made better is narrow minded. I love the old Beetles and Square backs.. but I love my Audi A3 also.

I've got a '98 K1500 Z-71 I'll sell ya.B|

Its got great MPG, on average 13mpg in the city.:o:D

Ford cars and Chevy cars just aren't that appealing to me, their trucks are nice, though.

I've driven a Mazada 6 and I was quite impressed. Not bad for a relatively inexpensive vehicle.

EDIT:

Slappie,

I never said that things couldn't be better, just that I don't feel like the new water cooled vehicles from Porsche and from VW are the same vehicles with the same heart and soul. I know I'll never have the performance in my '73 SuperBeetle that my buddy has in his 2004 Jetta 1.8T. I would rather have the former than the later, though.

The RS6 is a sweet car... I still think the RS4 is faster and more nimble. :ph34r:

I'm sorry, but boots.. and skirts (well that outfit) is just more sexy than shoes...

Look at the Mazda 5, they are supposed to be zippy. I will say that my SO got rid of the Evo this year and I loved that car :(

I did get a new Scion tC and love it!



If you want a zippy mazda get the RX8....every time I drive mine I can't help but smile.

I also have a 6 wagon and love it for hauling people and gear and adventure racers blow skydivers out of the water for the amount of gear they need to haul.
Fly it like you stole it!

you may feel zippy in the rx8, but it is generally underpowered. 60 mph in 7.0 seconds on the new (manual, more HP) version. isn't fast enough. it does have styling though:)
the 350z would be a better option
