IIRC Porche got tired of plumbers being able to afford a new Porche. Their 
words not mine. That is why they raised the price astronomically.

  <<Decent sales of the 924, 924 turbo and the 944 helped a lot.>>

  Sales of the 944 (83-89) saved the company, plain and simple. Their words. 
What finally killed them was the 50K price and still four cylinders. Even 
though the 944 Turbo was a 150+mph car.

  As to the 928, it was launched as an SL competitor which never went anyplace.
