    SHOCKED AND HORRIFIED!...."How its made" TV show!

    So I DVR'd the episode about the new 911, its slowly growing on me and thought it would be interesting...and it was! Then came the end of the show where they recapped the main points about the new 911 and they said, quote, "the 3.4 litre VEE SIX engine"....are you freakin' kidding me!

    If you really want a flat six you can always get a Subaru.

    Absolutely no comparison other than the fact that they both use boxer engines. I used to own a WRX and that was the most disappointing car over ever owned. Complete ends of the spectrum in terms of quality.

    ...are you seriously comparing a $20k econo car to a $60k sports car? Talk about apples to oranges. SMH

    After having 4 STI's the performance is actually pretty good and they are pretty reliable. The interiors weren't that great but I didn't expect them to be. If I drop $60+ k on a car it better be the whole package- not sure what you expect for 20 grand though.

    More alarming was the fact that the car gets dipped 3x in corrosion resistant primer, gets 6 base coats and then only 2 coats of clear!

    The car has been in production since 1964, almost 50 yrs and is very unique, like the engine still being in the rear and that engine has always been a boxer style.
