All this does is to underline the point that all modern Porsches are not be owned for more than 100K miles or you will A) have to be prepared to spend an outrageous sum of money and B) lose nearly all of the value of the car as it approaches that 100K marker.

Which makes the Koreans, also builders of mass produced cars like Porsche, total geniuses for offering 10 year warranties on cars that cost 1/5 the price of Porsche. Err why are people paying the Porsche premium again?

Think about it. It will be easier to sell 20 year old Sonata than it will be sell a 20 year old Carrera. Whose engineering was better given that neither is a racing car nor has a racing engine?
