Porsche does not make an exceptional sounding or looking car currently they try to fall back on the engineering tag.
You have obviously never heard or driven a GT3 or GT3 RS.
If you take money out of the picture, I can't take seriously anyone who says that a 911 looks and sounds better than - Vanquish, One-77, Vantage V12, Vantage V8, Lambo LP 670, Lambo LP 560, Ferrari 599, Ferrari 430, Ferrari Scud, Ferrari 612, Ferrari 458, Ferrari 360 CS, Ferrari 355, Ferrari 512TR, Maser GT, Zonda, Merc SL 65 black, Mclaren F1, ZR-1, .........................
That was my point, it still is. Trip said a GT3 was better looking and sounding, it isn't.
Is a 911 a great performance bang for the buck compared to most of those - Yes.

I had a 928 and a 944 in the 80's - they were both crap compared to my subsequent 911's...
I don't know what crap means here. No 911 sounds as good as my or many other 928's with custom exhausts. Never will. You will never get a great sound out of a 6 cylinder engine compared to a V8 or V12 and some V10's. Its numbers, nothing you can do about it.
As for looks a 911 still looks like a 911 thats why it is an icon, remember. A little inflated but still basically the same. The 928 is one of the most beautiful cars ever built, it was better looking then and it is today. I have driven your model John and it is very nice but no where near as exciting.
But I suppose thats all opinion, different strokes for different folks.
If I were the only person who thought that way some of you would have a point but I am not.
