The senior leadership at Porsche made a calculated business decision in attempting to take over of the biggest car company in the world - VW. They gambled, and lost. They may however have the last laugh. If the NTSB ever figures out how to issue a recall associated with the failures of the the M96 engine, VW will wish they'd let Porsche AG have their way. Retro-fitting 1.1 - 1.3 million cars, built between 1996 and 2008 with an 9A1 motor is going to cost a bundle! For those of you with 986/987, 996/997's, out of warranty - save your receipts!
