Slightly off topic: the evolution of the iconic shape (unfortunately without the increase in size):  http://youtu.be/Pz8IGLgFE2s

I can actually see the increase in size... Smiley Smiley Very nice video, thanks a lot. Smiley

I can actually see the price increase too.  

Last evening, I went with a group of friends to the Chicago Auto Show, an event I seldom attend, and was stunned by the Monroney sticker on a new 911 Targa S.   That car was over $178,000!  A couple of model years' ago, that sum would purchase a 911 Turbo, not a mid-level car.  Porsche has more direct competition today than years past; however, Porsche management seems to believe it can price with impunity.
