Mike, good info. Stories like that along with the RMS problem make you wonder about the viability of the company. To keep expenses down they are avoiding a fix? Even bringing out the Cayman with the same inherent flaw. Didn't the problem exhibit itself during prototype testing during engine develpment. OK maybe not so then lets assume it was a production problem. How many years does it take to correct that? With such a long production run, any new tooling or dies could be amortized over the production run. Very uncharacteristic for a German engineer.

Might be interesting to send a letter off to Porsche headquarters to see what the response is.
