Hi,
You may be right, I have not paid that much attention.
But, before you go appluading this practice, think about how much Porsche benefits their Reputation by doing so - it boosts it out of proportion to the actual stats, especially with Mag Reporters and Editors, who then go on to eagerly support the Brand. A Company which understates it's numbers is being just as
manipulative as a Company which boosts it's numbers.
Just another
contrived way of influencing the Buying Public IMHO...
