I really do think that of all the things these cars do right. what they do best is ergonomics. People complain about the interior of 9X6 Porsche's but everything is just in the perfect place. Reach down and lower both windows at once with index and middle finger. turn the intermittent wiper gauge thing with the right hand. The trunk release is extremely easy to grab while getting out of the car. Sitting comfortably in the seat my wrists are right on top of the wheel when arms extended making the driving position perfect. The location of the shifter in relation to everything else. Even the way my elbow fits perfectly into the divot of the door pocket cover. Whoever is responsible for the ergonomics in the boxster is a legend. |

ETA: I think that's my modern, less cool Le Mans start - left hand turning key, right hand grabbing latch for the top. |
Somebody finally did something for us lefties.:dance:

The switches in the middle always reminded me of my wife's old winter beater Pontiac Sunfire. Crappy car - so anything remotely the same as that brought back bad memories! |

If you read old Porsche history books, you'll see it has nothing to do with the old Le Mans start. But that's a great story to tell. Porsche has simply stated, that's just the side they put the ignition switch on. Almost weekly, I try to start my Ford Explorer with the push button on the left. Duuuuuuu.:)

Here it is straight from Porsche. This is the quick start guide to a 2014 Cayenne:

That's from the guys in Marketing. The history books say otherwise. But it's a good story. |
Lemans running start days I heard. Could start the car with left hand and shift with right hand. Course there is that damn steering wheel teeth maybe?
