Are there really this many blown engines

[Brucelee]

The JD Powers data for THREE YEAR quality ranks Porsche way way down the list. I think the number is #61 but can't recall exactly. There is thread on it here.

Hence, something happens betwee day 90 and day 1100 of thereabouts.

I think it is fine to gripe about the lack of long term reliability of these cars. These cars cost a ton new and I for one expect a higher standard than Porsche appears to deliver.
