ALL PORSCHES ARE OVER PRICED.

They wouldn't be the most profitable car company in the world if they weren't.

How long can this over pricing continue?
That's what I'd like to know.

This IS an interesting question. It is VERY hard for any company to maintain outsized margins. In the face of the intensely competitive car business, I see this margin as a very attractive target for other companies.

Face it, there are not too many bad cars being made anymore.

No, but there is a lot of ugly cars being made. Monte Carlo for starters.
