I don't think it's a very unique idea. I'd rather see an inline 4... better accessability, better fuel economy. The 944 was a very nice vehicle for it's time... and you can still fine some good condition ones on the road today, turbo or not. If Porsche would ditch all the nick-nacks and get back to a more purist approach to sports cars I think they would find that their following would get larger. So it’s a 2-door Subaru with RWD?

I used to own a '91 Eagle Talon TSi AWD Turbo. If i'm not mistakin, it was THE fastest pocket rocket (4cyl) of the day(mine 197hp). Similar to the comment i made about the Neon SRT-4 up above. =======>>DeansterTJ, i feelyou. I used to own a ‘91 Eagle Talon TSi AWD Turbo.

Anyone remember the Eagle Talon? Turbo 4, 210 hp, went like hell. Imagine if Porsche tried it today. 300 hp, nice and light, crisp handling. Winner all around. This idea is a breath of fresh air.

With porsche engineering, that wouldn't be bad AT ALL. look at how powerful and SPEEDY an '05 SRT-4's 2.4 can and very often(ly) achieve. and its nowhere near porsche's engineering. ======>>i would love to see a 4cylinder 2.4porsche, just make it turbocharged.

These were great cars that looked good, handled very well, and had decent acceleration. Today you can pick up a decent one fairly cheap. Just watch the maintenance - these ate timing belts and waterpumps for breakfast. Another vote for a 924/944/968 successor.

The return of the 924 or better yet the 944. If Porsche can produce the bastard Cayenne then a return to a true sport car like 914-4, 924 and 944 just seems right. Sweet!

The 944 Turbo is one of my favourite Porsches ever made and I would love to see a modern variant of that front-engine, RWD platform! When Porsche first started selling the 944 (and before that, the 924) it was marketed as the Porsche for everyone. Great! Nowadays, a 2009 Boxster starts at a lofty $58,000 (CDN)! And yet some people have the audacity to call it the "poor man's porsche"?!? $58,000 is still a hell of a lot of money in my opinion. Bring back the 944 PLEASE! I think this is great news actually!
