That is EXACTLY what Porsche IS focusing on.
After that, well, gee, that is too bad! Just give me 12-15G for a new engine please.
I will go back to my Chevy V8 analogy.
You can run those bad boys for over 200K easy if you simply keep the oil clean.
Why would that be so much to ask of a Porsche motor?
These Germans are smart folks. Charge much, keep expectations low.



You missed my point. If the cars were really that defective Porsche couldn't afford to offer 4yr bumper-to-bumper waranties. It'd simply go bankrupt. The reality of HIGHEST profit margins is suggesting quite the opposite. Unless you're inferring that the "smart" Germans specifically designed the Porsches to start breaking down in hordes right after their waranty expires -- just for the fun of it. So smart AND sinister indeed. Dr. Evil material.

that's how I read it.....and still on board with Z on this one.....if it is that much of a crap shoot with the engine.....I would figure I would see A LOT more posts of this occurence where as right now we see warning posts and friends of friends...and I know some have gone bad on this board but not enough.....

so if it was that much of a crap shoot, then Porsche would be broke on replacing motors under warranty..........

so unless there is a program this sucker to go at anytime after 60K miles button....not sure how they could be that unstable
