I'm sorry to have seen both these threads as both people have been helpful to this community and are passionate about their involvement with our cars and this forum.
I don't know and have not bought anything from either so I don't have a dog in this fight, but I have purchased products, rebranded them, sometimes modified them or repackaged them or repurposed them and introduced them to new markets for profit. Porsche does it and so do many businesses (if anyone thinks that Costco manufactures the stuff they sell under their house brand, you are quite mistaken). Nothing wrong or unethical about it. Yes, a consumer who does the research and invests the time might find the original manufacturer and save $ or maybe the consumer buys from a vendor out of convenience or an affinity to the vendor.
As a business coach and marketer I can see both sides of this spat but, rather than keep typing I'm going to go for a ride in my beautiful 986 and smile a lot. If it wasn't raining I'd put the top down.
Boys, make up and enjoy, life's too short!
