I will go back to one of my earlier comments.

Never overestimate the executive management of auto manufacturers. The industry's histroy is one of over-reaching, over-diversification, major product mistakes, strategic and tactical blunders.

Porsche management is not immune to this disease. In many ways, one COULD assert that the thought that their management team can turnaround VW is a major act of hubris.

Of course, VW management is not a tough act to follow, but Porsche mangement has been successful with three model types. That is fine, but it doesn't make them Toyota either.

Time will tell.

As Elmer Fudd would say, "be very quite, I'm hunting rabbits!
