utt ohhh...
How many of those were Cayenne/Panameras? I like PDK, I dislike the +/- gear shift but find the paddles to be useable. That being said, I think it's short sited on Porche's part to put all their eggs in one basket. I hope that BMW avoids the same path.

Porsche has built some great cars over the last century that I am truly smitten with. I wish I could say I was as fond of their management...
