BTW, this isn't them being proactive.

The point of the post was that there will/can be problems, even systemic, with other vehicles by other manufacturers; the number of threatening, ********************ing, screaming people can be more as well. This number just blew me away.

Toyota Motor Corp. said Tuesday it was recalling 418,570


That is like, what, the last 7 years of Porsches(im not a figure nut). Bigger numbers get bigger results and more attention.

Do you think:
1 the inconcistency of service, dealers, and our owner experience is because recalling 8800 porsches just wouldn't be news because it is not 6 digits. For example an out of warranty owner gets RMS fixed free or a new engine while another with a similar problem has to pay or has to work a lot harder to get it covered. I do

2 Porsche as a company, in groupthink, knows in the back of their mind that the General Public will have little sympathy for Porsche Owners. I do

3 Arrogance is as much a part of Porsche rear engine and mid engine cars. I do.

But almost everyone has a bestf riend, mom, grandma, family member with a Toyota. That makes this big news, that gets this handled.
