Hi,

You may be right, I have not paid that much attention.

But, before you go appluading this practice, think about how much Porsche benefits their Reputation by doing so - it boosts it out of proportion to the actual stats, especially with Mag Reporters and Editors, who then go on to eagerly support the Brand. A Company which understates it's numbers is being just as manipulative as a Company which boosts it's numbers.

Just another contrived way of influencing the Buying Public IMHO...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
