COTW 3 - Porsche 944 turbo

I'm at it again ... this time it's a Porsche 944 Turbo.

Let's brake it down: 

Pro: 
- 220 or 250hp on the rear wheels (ok, that number is at the crank but you get the idea)
- RWD 
- designed by porsche to go on where the 911 left off. (that didn't happen, but the mechanical design should be pretty good)
- 4 seater, with a bit of imagination
- it's a Porsche
- Turbo, meaning more power is relatively easy to achieve
- Pop up headlights ... how cool is that

Con : 
- It's the car that never went on, whereas the 911 did. This means having to live with the "it's not a real Porsche" comments
- Since it stems from the last century it's bound to have some problems
- fuel consumption. Old turbo engines were never known for their economy
- Pop up headlights .. they're heavy and bound to break at some stage
