I am not new to classic cars, or Porsches in general. As a relative newcomer to the 914, I look at it, think about it, and try to come to terms with it as to what it is. By that, I mean is it more Volkswagen, or is it a Porsche? It may seem like a silly question, it has a multitude of P-car parts, but says VW on the glass. The deckled says Porsche, but the steering column is pure Volkswagen. The transmission and engine (in mine) is a Porsche design made by Volkswagen? It is a radical departure from the Karmann Ghia which it replaced. Weird. Split personality disorder?
