And exactly how long did Porsche warrantee the car originally?

To my best recollection, Porsche never made the claim that the car will last forever, or that it's "the last car you'll ever need."

My point is that if they make the claim of being the "permanent fix", they should put their money where their mouth is and guarantee it forever.

Let's see: Porsche sold you a $50K+ car (original price depending upon the year) and gave you a "limited" 4 year warrantee. LN sold you a $1K part, and warrantied it for 5 years, in a market where 1 year parts warranties are rare, and 30 days is more the norm. And you are complaining?

I'm not complaining. I just found it funny they claim to be the "Permanent Solution" yet their warranty is only 5 years. Contrary to your belief, many auto part manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty. Even Advance Auto brake pads and calipers come with a lifetime warranty. Carquest Alternators and A/C compressors have a lifetime warranty. etc.etc.

If they want to claim it lasts forever, then guarantee it forever. It's that simple. Put your money where your mouth is. Just saying.

I don't have anything against the product itself, I'm sure it's fine. I'll probably never buy it though, because for me the cost-benefit analysis isn't favorable.

And BTW, same thing goes for the EPS solution.

Porsche didn’t call it the “Permanent Vehicle” or “Transportation Solution”, suggesting that the car would never fail.
The “IMS Solution”, however, does suggest that (with a 5 year warranty).

Calling something “permanent” or the “solution” without the data to support it is deceptive, at best.
