It's too hard to call the 912 the poor mans 911. The 912 was all about the look and stlying with a 4 cylinder 1.6 liter performance enhanced VW Air Cooled engine delivering 90HP. As for 911's the 912 styling is present but Porsche went further with its Engine Plant going to 6 cylinder 2.2 liter engine. I,m a VW Beetle person with an interest in 912's cause they are along the same theme. 912's are rarer to find than 911's. One of these days I want to have a 912 as stable mate for my VW.
Still for sale?

So is the Karmann ghia, the 914, the GTI. (Seems like a lot of other vw's/porsche are poor mans 911's :P)
