They all forgot that you don't build a car company by trading leveraged stock options. You build a car company by building cars.

The sad part is that while building (and selling) fine cars, they played roulette with the financial underpinnings of the company.

Personally I was hoping for some revenge against VW for the screwing they gave Porsche with the 914-6's excessive cost.

I wonder if there are any similar discussions going on on GM boards or Chrysler boards.
Personally I don't care too much about Porsche's financial woes, they WILL not go out of business, and I don't have any Porsche stock.
I just happen to drive one of their cars (which I will freely admit sometimes like more than my wife

) but that's about it.
