Sign that VW's influence on Porsche is death to the traditional Porsche bullet-proof reliability?

 

There hasn't been any time yet for VW to influence any Porsche products yet, everything thats out now has been designed and finished well before the take over IMO.

 

The VW influence would be the little cost cutting things that we don't see like switching to a cheaper VW supplier instead of tradition Porsche ones. The parts may look the same to us on the surface, but it's cheaper made and build and doesn't have the reliability.

Doesn't need to be a completely VW dictated design to flush reliability down the drain.
