If Chevy had made the 914's, would they still get the same attention they do? Is the 914 dependent upon the porsche cachet? What if it was a Honda product? Would people care?

Del Sol, Fierro, MR2, etc... its all about making a similar "platform" sportscar.
The thing about the 914 is that it is very well designed by the "old Porsche" team that continued to develop 911s in the late 60s. 914s have a soul that is reminiscent of the 356 in some regards, the 911 in others, a race car in others, and perhaps a VW or ghia in others. What you don't get in the cheap later cop offs is the feedback. When I drive my 914 its telling me how hard the curve is, what the road feels like, whether the roadkill back there was a boy or girl.... the car is an extension of my senses. That's why around town, I reach for the vintage keys vs the autobahn cruiser. |
