    that ain't the way to have fun, son: I've always loved the 928's size, shape, and fluidity of style. It's, to me, the near-perfect personal coupé. However, the only way I'd own one wou... more »

    Maxichamp: I much prefer the smaller, recessed taillights of these older 928s. I don't like the flat wraparounds of the later models. Anyone with me? more »

    Porsche 928, Despite Costing As Much As 10 Pintos When New...

    We're exaggerating a tiny bit here; the '78 928's sticker price was $28,500, or approximately 9.5 times the $2,995 cost of a new '78 Pinto. Still, you don't see junked 928s every day! More »

    PCH, V8 Imports You Should Totally Run At LeMons Edition: Porsche 928 or Lexus LS400?

    Not very shockingly, the Mercedes-Benz 450SEL beat up on the Pontiac Bonneville in our 6.9 Liters Of Misery Choose Your Eternity poll on Friday, no doubt because voters were counting camshafts or dollars in the original purchase price or something. Today we're going to have the traditional post-24 Hours Of LeMons PCH, only instead of letting you choose between the cars that finished #1 and #2 (in this case, a Supra and a Jetta) we're going to choose between two cars we really, really want to see someone bring to a LeMons race. They were expensive when new, featured sophisticated DOHC V8s and rear-wheel-drive, and came equipped with dizzyingly complicated electronics and plush luxury gear… yet it's possible to pick either one up for a LeMons-friendly price today!
