Since Porsches ASSEMBLED in Germany contain many outsourced parts (the transmissions are made in Japan), I would suggest your distinction is rather useless in everyday use.. At the end of the day, the nameplate, the title, the legal manufacturer are all Porsche.

Again, lets watch your tone if you choose to respond. This topic is certainly not worth any bickering.

Firstly, it was not my distinction but your distinction.

By defult that makes your distinction useless in everyday use.

I never made any 'distinction' other than a light-hearted remark about Skoda's.

I'm purely (albeit with a modicum of dry humour) seeking some clarity as you were appearing to set a definitive & indisputable criteria of what a real Porsche.

Secondly, if you are so quick to warn me to watch my tone, how about a warning regards the offensive racist tones used by some members when reffering to Japanese sports cars?

Lastly, I apologise if you were offended by my tone. I see this as bantering not bickering.
