  1. No, a V8 of over 4 litre. It's the 944 that had the 4 cylindre as was designed for Audi.

  2.  @Kent.  Correct, I mixed up the 924 with the 944.

  3. I like the Porsche, the rear is indeed a bit weirdly proportioned but at least it's not like anything else. It's also a bit like if German engineers decided a front engined Porsche has to look like this, it's probably well thought through and has reasons behind it, form follows function, so... It's not just a design fad, a frolic for only a couple of years until a redesign. The car stayed in production for over 20 years in it's same basic design so they got something right.

  4. The election was organized by the Dutch car magazine Autovisie, and car journalists from all over Europe could vote, so no national bias. The title was to be awarded for the greatest step forward in any class if I remember correctly. So it could be sport cars, very innovative cars had an edge like Citroen, or all round good cars which high value for money like Fiats took a lot of titles too. The Citroen BX would have won it in the early 80's too if they only had the 1.9 engine available yet, that made the car come into it's own and fit in it's class. My parents had a Citroen GS in the early 80's, driving 3000 miles for vacation with two kids and a lot of luggage in great comfort with a 1.1 litre engine. My dad always admired the CX, but that was too expensive, after retirement he bought a used XM. I personally always liked the (cheap beaten down) BX 1.9 the best, great for vacations with friends, very comfortable, great brakes, lot's of space for the size, very light and relatively quick. Lots of body roll but no drama, it just hung in their diagonally.
