it's sooo true. I can think of no other following where there is so much sniping between car model owners. 993 guys hate the 996, 996 guys think the 997 is allot more money for a marginal gain, the Carrera GT guys thought the 996 was the poor man's porsche (my favorite forum post), the 996 and Boxster guys thought the Cayenne was blashphemy, the 996 guys think the CaymanS is stupid, 996 GT2/3 guys think the Cayman is a god send and demmand an RS, the 928 guys think all other Porsches are dumb, the 944 guys are too busy fixing their cars to post on forums.....

I really like the idea. I am married with no kids, but one day I would like to have a Porsche that I can actually put stuff in the back like friends. I didn't think I would like the Cayenne, but you have to drive one to appreciate it. I loved the handling and acceleration. Once I outgrow the Boxster I am looking at a used M5 or Merc because they are the only ones that make a true 4 seat car. I support the move. Now, if they can just come out with a removable bike rack that doesn't cost as much as stem cell research...
In my humble opinion, I would love to see Porsche have all models so an individual could stay in the Porsche family. My garage would have a Boxster S, a Cayenne and a Panamera. They do need to stop short of a mini van though.
Let the tongue lashing begin...

ROFLMAO!!! That's one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.
I haven't owned a Porsche for very long (always wanted one though), but I have no ill feellings for any other Porsche out there. I think they are all cool in their own way, even the Cayenne. The idea that a Porsche owner could hate on another Porsche owner because of the type of Porsche they drive is ludicris. I shake my head and wonder why.
In my heart of hearts I do think Porsches should all be sports cars, but Porsche is a company and making money is important. So if they have to make an SUV and a sedan to stay competitve, then I won't fault Porsche for that.
On that note PLEASE DO NOT MAKE A MINI-VAN!!!

I think Porsche should change the name from Panamera to FuglyStationWagonmera. . Kudos to Porsche, for hiring design engineers from Kia.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
