Chike, thanks for the compliment. The main difference, is I'm not considering buying one! I love the GT3 and the idea behind the Panamera, but I couldn't buy a new Boxster. The 928 S4 is now $15,995 and the SL 600 is $26,995. The Alpina is only $3295 I beleive. But yes, I do have a love of all things German. Cars, Guns, and WOMEN!!!
