All Things Porsche

I had a 2008 Cayman S for 4 years.  Fun car.  Not really fast, but handled nicely.

You can getting fairly loaded up S under 70 but your right about the options.   The new redesigned q5 should be nice but coming out of Mexico makes it less appealing.

I just configured a Macan on their website (and I did it on the cheap with options I would want and use without going crazy).  Came out to $77k--and that was not even the Macan Turbo.  I suppose when you buy a Porsche, you do not care about "value" but I cannot talk myself into going there when the Q5 is a very reasonable alternative.  Plus the Macan interior feels  much more cramped than the Q5.

2017 Panamera 

Cannot get with this or Cayenne or Macan.  I like the two doors best with this marque.

The four doors (especially Cayenne) are very important to their bottom line and broaden appeal to more buyers.

Fuck German. Japanese luxury owns all day everyday.

I've had both and they both have pluses and minuses.  A Porsche oil change is over $300 bucks so that could be construed a negative.

Negtive of Japan cars?

A Porsche evolving slowly over time?  That's so unusual. 

Great comparison and your point is well taken... but I think that IS the point: when you have excellent design to begin with (and they do) you do not radically depart from it; you do not run away from it; you do not try to reinvent it; you slowly evolve it... adding convenience options... safety features... and other technology as they are invented. BMW did this for years but Porsche is probably the best example of what I am talking about.  Fundamentally good designs age very well.  You can look at a 30 or 40 year old Porsche and still say "wow."  How many car makers can you say that about?
