What was good in 1968 may not necessarily be good in 2009.

I read recently that due partly to VW's acquisition of Porsche that the 911 may be on the chopping block. VAG wants a lot more innovation and new models for Porsche and the fact is that the mid-engine designs like the Cayman handle better. FWIW.
