I always make time for Porsche because it is a study in GLUTTONY .




I find that statement pretty ironic coming from a Ferrari driving lawyer in La Jolla, CA That said, if Porsche's tactics & philosophy were raping & pillaging customers as much as you think, why does their business continue to grow? Either people are becoming less intelligent and fall victim to Porsche's sales strategies OR Porsche is indeed building cars that meet the needs/wants of a larger number of customers. Consider that only 15 years ago (pre Boxster and around the first Gulf War), Porsche was on the brink of bankruptcy. Say what you will but Wiedeking is a fantastic business man and turned the company around in an impressive way. Montezemolo is also a great businessman and his drive to improve Ferrari's quality was prescient and critical to the brand's success today. Face it - if Ferrari's quality levels were the same as past years, the demand wouldn't be what it is given the strides of other car makes.

Interesting and balanced perspective on the Turbo in this article from Top Gear's website.
