Hi,
Are you kidding me? 10 years ago their positions were reversed with Porsche not being able to borrow a dime on a street corner. Only the Cayenne, an
SUV, (and not the progeny of any Race Heritage by any stretch) pulled them back from the abyss. If they had relied on the 911 and Boxster to do that, they's have gone the way of the Dodo and been relegated to the pages of Nostalgia and History Books.
Chevy's (GM) problem stems mainly from their Union Benefit and Retirement obligations, not from Unit sales - they're even obligated to pick up the Tab on Viagra for the ED crowd, which explains why the Steering Wheels on Chevys are pushed so far forward.
Chevy has been producing the Corvette for nearly as many years as Porsche has been building cars, who has racked up more sales?
The
Porsche Uber Alles Crowd needs to come to grips with the fact that theirs isn't the only great car made and that admitting so will not have the Porsche Gestapo deporting you in the middle of the night !...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
