A period AUTOMOBILE road test drove the whole crop of 1989 944 models and declared the S2 the best choice for U.S. buyers, summing up with, "And so it is that the 944 S2 is now the better choice for American roads, horsepower figures be damned. The S2 revs more quickly than any Porsche this side of a 928, producing instant power off the line—unlike the Turbo—and demands fewer around-town downshifts in the bargain." In the end, the S2 was the only version sold in North America during the last two years of production in 1991 and 1992. Nearly 20,000 total 944 S2 models were built in both coupe and cabriolet form (several thousand fewer than Turbo models), but fewer than 7,000 found their way to the U.S., making them among the rarest 944 variants to find today. - Motortrend magazine
