Sorry GT, bye bye Enzo...

Kind of overstating things. Lambo has made a concept car made up as a retro version of the Miura, but I don't see it as something likely to see production. epbrown

Besides... a Lambo is really just a VW on steroids these days... Ferrari is a Fiat underneath it all... same with Alpha and Lancia (if Fiat still runs thier assembly lines in Europe at all).

Porsche is the last of the independents...

Well, if someone gave me a 328 to drive around, I'd chuck the motorcycles (no, not the 993) out of the garage to make room. Post haste.

Unlike Porsche (cough, cough, Cayenne) ;-)

Well, we won't mention the 356, 911 or 924/944/968 series I suppose...

I guess the only Porsche without a VW begining is the Boxster???

Ahh, but the Boxster is a curvaceous 914, isn't it?

: 928, I think was it's own design, thank you.

Well... not if you go with the notion that the 944 motor is half a 928 motor, since the 944 motor replaced the 924's motor which was based on VW's LT motor...

The VW version of the Kevin Bacon rule would apply to the 928...

Not really. The 944 engine was developed *from* the 928 motor, which was all original and had nothing to do with the VW/Audi project the 924 came from. Though the 924 hit the market first, the 928 was developed first (1971 or so, I think). Design and hardware flowed from the 928 downstream, not up from the 924/944/968. epbrown
