Re: New Maseratis?

["Peter Marino" <alfa02189@domain.elided>]

Ask Porsche owners if the 924, 944 and 928 are considered "real" Porsches.
911s resale prices remain high.  The previously mention are easily gotten
for $5000 and less. Grassroots had a comparison a few issues back between a
911 and 944.  They said that most Porsche enthusiasts believe that the 924
and 944 are not "real" Porsches because they are front engine/ rear drive
instead of rear engine/ rear drive.  I believe the same for Ferrari owners.
Just because Ferrari makes it does not mean it's a "real" Ferrari. Those
that are not Ferrari enthusiasts may not even know that Masers are built by
Ferrari.  Lets also remember that there would be no Ferrari with out Alfa
Romeo!
