Do you think Porsche just rolled over as soon as the lawsuit was filed? No, the plaintiffs had to prove their case to Porsche before they decided to settle. If they had lost, they would have lost the money they paid for experts and costs.

I can't understand how you were represented for free and still complain about the lawyers being compensated. If you are not happy, pony up about a million dollars and file your own lawsuit, you can still opt out of the class action.
Let's see: No compensation for lost value. Sliding payment scale down to 25% of cost if you bought your car used. 10 year limit on claims. No coverage for early year cars or later year cars. No double row bearing coverage. Etc, etc. Not exactly a stellar win.
