Jerry Nelson, the local Porsche Audi dealer, just returned from a trip to
Germany.  The 924S will be a 944 engine in a 924 body and will come into
the US at arount $18000.  The European and US versions of the engine
will be identical, as with all future Porsche cars, in an attempt to squelch
the gray market.  Last year the US got 14000 944 cars and about 75000
300ZX cars, so Porsche is going after that market.  The 924S will be a little
faster than the normally-aspirated 944 but will not corner as well.  The latter
is heavier,  and it has a larger frontal cross-section, primarily due to
the fender flares.
