Temp guage - what is normal?

Accountants won out over the engineers again, huh?

Why is this the recurring theme at Porsche...perhaps a management change will turn things around. I love my Porsches just as much as the next guy, but these cheap shortcuts really irritate me when few a pennies more, they could have sourced the proper component.

I have a hard time stomaching the "only buy Porsche parts" retoric when I see the quality of some of corners cut. When I replaced the dash speakers, I just laughed - Nokia brand cardboard speakers in a 45K convertible.

Forget the sound quality (it is nonexistent) - but paper in a convertible where it could easily get wet? Whoose idea was that?
