Forget who told me this or where I read it but as MN points out the Finland builds have a much better record. I suspect like anything, the more you do it the more specialized you become and the less errors you make. They assemble allot of Boxsters.
But what I heard was that education levels/quality of assembly line workers in Finland were much better than those of the German assembly workers which include a high number of North African immigrant workers. Who knows if its true.

p.s.
if someone gave me a 997TT I would promptly sell it. I could get better sytiling and almost as much fun with 996 TT and have $65K left over for the piggy bank.
btw,
Compare the interiors of that $130K car and your 987, almost identical. something wrong with that.
