Porsche sales and quality went south in the early 90's. I thought they would get bought out by another company. 993 series brought Porsche back to life again and cheap P-cars are Boxters made Porsche pockers deeper and fuller than ever. With the birth of Porsche SUV, things even got better for Porsche but the streets got filled with the Stuttgart insginia. Porsche's became more desirable to people with small budgets and less desirable to the exotic car lovers. However the high end Porsches maintained Porsche's flagship.
The irony is this, you see two people at a part both claim they are porsche drivers, both are labled as porsche drivers, but one drives a CGT and the other one a Boxter, same league? hardly!!! When it comes to Ferraris there is not such significant difference between the upper and lower models.
