Sure. But compared to, say, the 924 or 944 (ie - the other cheap-o NARPS), the 6 year production run is really short for a "successful" model.
And, yes, 115,000 is a lot of cars. But 20K a year is not, on the grander scheme of things. It is only barely viable - especially if it is poaching from the higher margin cars like the 911. If the 914 was considered a successful platform, Porsche would have continued to manufacture them and not moved to the 924 platform. Zach |

Zach interesting point, the stay power AND actual useability(?) of the 914's, is what they are about. say the mustang, that sold 1 M in a year and a half, may have higher resale but from my experiance with them(since 77') the owners really don't enjoy them like a real narp porshe... this is where the REAL value is! |
