    Re: Leipzig expansion for Panamera

    I think I liked it when Porsche wasn't a huge mass producing company. I don't like how they just keep getting bigger. And this just disappoints me. I'm glad they are doing well financially now, but I don't want to own something as common as a BMW. Just my worthless 2 cents.

    Sorry Grant. That day is already here. In LA a Porsche is just as common as a BMW. And it's been that way for at least the last 7 or 8 years.

    THAT IS EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS, they are reaching all markets these days, and they are becoming like another Bmw brand....(in theory )

    Ferrari in the other hand is just in the same line and view of the future they have been all its life... and that is what I like from them,viewing it from a point of view of spots-car enthusiast, but if we look it from an economical and good future business perspective Porsche is in the right way, SO which one is the way to take????

    I know. I'm just in denial though. Where I live, out in Amish country, you don't see them much at all. I know people have said this, but I gotta say it, I really wish they would just forget the Panamera and just make the 928. Just the thought of a stupid SUV AND a 4 door car really makes me sick.

    True. The sad part is that not only you see too many of them out in the streets I have noticed many dealerships have boxsters and 996 in their used lots like Infiniti, Cadillac, Lexus .
