For a person that has never even owned a Porsche you sure talk a lot.
Just as an FYI... MKSGR has been an ardent supporter of Porsche. You wouldn't know that though since you obviously have your own agenda.
The reason some of us voice our concern for Porsche's products is because we don't want them to be superceded by their competitors. It is not to belittle or make the brand lesser. We hope Porsche's people peruse these boards and come away with a better understanding of some of their customers' concerns.
SoCalHoosier,
today, I think you and others (like JimFlat et al.) were right when challenging Porsche by the Corvette Z06 rumours etc.
Porsche needs more pressure from customers to prevent things like the 997TT.
I told my dealer very clearly what I think of the recent model news from Porsche He knows that he will not sell a car like this to me.
"Herr MKSGR, ve haf been auforized to offer you a full warranty for any ant all tuening you might vant to perform on your vehicle. NOW vill you pleaze buy ze stupid car?"
But seriously, as much as we defended Porsche prior to the press release, the critics were right. Porsche needs to be reminded that it's all well to run a business, but throwing away the heritage of the flagship as the undisputed performance king isn't a smart move IMO. It's also not that much about the power as it is about transmissions for me. I never thought I'd see the day when an automatic would be faster than a manual - in a PORSCHE, nonetheless.
That leaves the PDK to literally save the car's image.
