There's been a lot of talk about the Porsche 911 for 1993. As a leading car in the targa market the 911 (and in this case specically the Carrera 4 version) has maintained a high standard. The 2-door 911 is especially appealing to broad audience, making it a perfect car to help Porsche as a brand in general.
