There are so many VAG and generic German parts in it and the assembly in Finland -that it has not got as much uniquely Porsche parts as people think.Those Porsche-only parts are the ones that give the very expensive problems. The Audi V6 tt is more powerful, same/less weight ,lower cost to maintain and repair,easier to access - what is not to love - other than P-car bragging rights ?
Without the M96/7Boxster sales , Porsche may have been unable to sell the 996 at such 'low' prices. So we saved them !
