Actually? They may well already have...

And even if they do have to hire a team of litigants, let 'em. Hell, they can afford it. Had they addressed the issue years ago when it first became evident there was a problem (instead of pretending there wasn't), they'd have saved everyone, including themselves, a lot of headaches (and heartache, for those individuals stuck with a ton of scrap iron that used to be a Porsche automobile). It's called a good faith effort to fix something they screwed up, and continued to screw up year after year. Lots of people out there would have much more of a warm fuzzy feeling about Porsche had they done so...and that warm fuzzy would surely translate into increased sales at the dealership. They, to one degree or another, shot themselves in the foot on this, plain and simple.

No offense or anything, I'm sure you're a very smart person, but this is clearly not your field of expertise. Probably best to quit while you're... only this far behind.

Uhh, Excuse Me?? What makes you the expert here? I what I need to know about these cars, and also more than a bit about the legal profession, believe you me...

But for the "", offense would have been taken!

Man, you're just digging it deeper. Is that supposed to make sense?

As to your knowledge of the practices of the legal profession... okay. I stand corrected. Your suggestion that a corporation would litigate a major class action lawsuit (and believe me, they're all major) by using corporate counsel instead of retaining outside litigators sounded like someone who didn't know what they were talking about with respect to commercial litigation.

Wait... it still does!

This is a good debate and everyone should feel welcome to express their opinion on the topic, including you and including Frodo. There is no need to be an ass and make personal attacks.
