This is clearly a sign of over production. Quality suffers.




There are no statistics that back that statement up. Overproduction and decreases in quality only occur during a rapid increase in sales and the company's quality control measures can't keep. Simply producing a large number of cars doesn't affect quality (Toyota, Lexus).



Porsche is a small car company that has grown from producing cars in the 20,00 range to almost 100,000 cars in a span of eight years. Additionally, many of the models that make up the 100,000 share parts. For an example, the Boxster, Cayman and 911 share a good number of parts (the stated goal for Boxster and 911 is 60%). With part sharing in an expanding company comes complacency in assembly and compromises in functionality. All of which lead to reliability issues.
