I am not going to rush to buy the newbies until I see how they fair directly against each other. ie. 911 turbo v R8 or M3 v GT-R.
I hope the pressure is turned up on Porsche to offer more for less. I know they make great cars, but Cayman S = Z06 price (almost).
on the above price note, the R8 is making the Porsche look good in comparison ie. R8 ($120K base) v 911 C4S (less than $90K). So if Porsche uncorks some more power and holds steady on price a bit it's going to be more easy to justify.
Another point, I was going to buy the new Z when it first came out but instead got an established car (S2000 that had been around a while with less new car bugs).

Now if Honda will just make me a V4 CBR or all new VFR I'd be in Heaven.
www.motorcycledaily.com had a brief story on it.
I co-worker of mine has a Magna with the V4 motor - very strong bike for its displacement. Capable of mid-11s 1/4 mile (and it's ten years old)!

I believe the supra was supposed to make a debut also in the states. I think it's not going to happen now.
