928 is going to hunt you down.
i don't think they are awful at all, well, the 944 was really sad, but the 928 was a really neat car. They handled pretty well, were fast, comfortable, luxurious, a great touring performance car, they weren't the intense sporting experience of a 911, but that isn't for everyone, and for people who like the idea of a
porsche, they have never made one as easy to work on as the 928.
i'm sure if they did it, they'd do it well (so long as it shared no parts with VW), i wouldn't mind seeing porsche compete with 6 and CLK.
