Having said that, I'd be more than happy if they had sold 1/4 of the Boxsters that they have. Part of the explanation for the lower resale values is the high volumes modern Porsches have sold in recent times.

Jaguar and Isuzu are in the tank. Ford is trying to unload Jag to an Asian company I believe.

The Germans are profitable, but the A8 is really a dog in the sales area.
