has Porsche let us down?

Porsche let me down the day that they sold their soul and built the Cayenne.

Those massive Cayenne profits (I think it's Porsche's #1 volume seller too, next to the Pano) is funding great stuff for the Boxster, Cayman, and 911 varients.

Jake-It's not hate...I already have my car retrofitted with your bearing. I am proactive with my maintenance. What I am saying is that I don't see a down side to having this reported through 60 minutes. Expose the problem; make it mainstream. Didn't they do a piece on BMW HPFPs? Look what happened...now my HPFP is warranted until 100K. This happened after the 60 minute episode.

Good luck finding a Judge and a jury that gives a rat's ass about a poor old Porsche owner. Not gunna happen. The problems are not safety related. Small in number.

This offers no solace or relief for those owners that have suffered. But a great business opportunity for great (and smart) vendors like Jake and L&N. Good for them. And good for the owners that are not so risk tolerant.

maybe its just me.
as being a positive guy, i try to look at the "full half of the glass".
i knew about the IMSB, issue before i purchased my car.
i decided to by it anyway, and the retrofit is going on it next month.

without the IMSB issue, these cars would probably cost double then what they cost today (if not more).
not sure if i would have bought a boxster if the price was double .
not because i don't think its worth it. just because i could not afford it.
