this is the death of all high end car companies,,,, just wait they WILL all go bankrupt next 3 years!!!

[davecata]

Did they all go bankrupt after the 1987 market crash? No. How about the Asian crisis? No.

Only inefficent and unprofitable car makers such as those in the US are in trouble. Why? They pay there employees too much.

orry you don't like porsches. Your loss as a multiple model owner they are some of the finest cars in the world.

For the record I do not like Porsches. Yes they are beautiful, they have that great racing heritage, and incredible engineering. It's just the engines are in the wrong place, behind the rear axel. God I want one of those Caymans. The tranny alone is enough to make me change my mind. Mid-engine rear wheel drive in a very functional sports car. Can't wait to see how they stack up against the other cars in their class.

you mention they are behind the rear axle..!!! but you also mention MID-ENGINE....... keyword "MID"...... means in front of rear axle. some of them yes are behind the rear axle. (

If you learned to read what is implied I said that much. Please pay attention, or read more than the first couple sentences, before you judge. What I said is that I am aware of Porsches philosophy I am aware of their heritage, I am aware of how well they are engineered. I do not like the montra slow in fast out, and that is why I like the Cayman. The Cayman's mid engine platform allows for higher relative cornering speed through out the corner. Now I'm teaching evaluative reading for free.
