If this kind of thing continues to happen a lot of Porsche owners will be buying a Lexus instead.

And then we'll see who bought a porsche to wear it, like a Cartier jewel, and who bought it to drive it


The logical conclusion of this statement is that the "wearers" will be driving around in their Lexuses and the "drivers" will be driving their rental cars whilst waiting for replacement engines.
I am afraid that this is becoming all too reminiscent of the British motorcycle industry.
