I doubt it. I think it would have to be European. Probably a Porsche (as they originally intended). The new Ferraris are way too over the top - a nice 911 S4 convertible would be impressive, but not too flashy.

I think the 911 would work as well, and the convertible would've given TM plenty of head room.

I remember seeing an interview with Austrian skiier Hermann Maier (The Hermanator) where he said that the only car that he can fit in comfortably is a Porsche because he's so tall. Apparently they're more spacious than they look. :shock:

No, this was way before the Cayenne. More than a decade ago.

The 328 is a "better" car, in almost every aspect.

That said, I just like the look of the 308 better; I may be the only person around who likes the silly black bumpers. :)

If the show kept on, Magnum should have gotten a 328GTS with a 308 Front Bumper, Fenders, and bonnet, what, THE FRONT TRUNK! L.O.L. He would, Today, be driving a 458 Italia with a customly built targa top.
