... now do you think Porsche could spend some of their profits on side air duct vents that don't look like they came from the old Ford Mustangs?
Expensive cars should look and feel like expensive cars.



Well, if you have any ideas on how the function of the side air ducts could be improved over the current ones, maybe you should be trying to sell them to Porsche.

If, on the other hand you just want the side air ducts to look expensive without any regard for improving their function, then I suspect that Porsche's interest in your ideas might be quite limited. It's my impression that, to a certain extent, both Porsche and Honda share the philosophy that "form follows function".



Thank you fritz for your insights and defense of Porsche... I'm glad I get to participate in Porshe's marketing studies about how to improve their cars. At least I get to place my 2 cents.

As for your comments about form and function...
Let's see what you will say when Porsche REPLACES the vents with the ones I am speaking of. It doesn't take a large brain to understand that the current vents are in place for current cost considerations.
Ruf didn't seem to have a problem with his design... his cars go faster don't they?
