Kind of strange that you can get matching luggage but have no room in the car to put it.

austin552,
Very informative video. Who would have ever imagined seeing trees growing inside a manufacturing facility for the purpose of controlling humidity and improving the air quality? I too was amazed at the preparation and aspects required in the engine building. I am teaching an upper-level undergraduate quality course at the moment and I believe that I will send this video link out to them for a supplemental assignment.

Watch all 8 segments of the Porsche factory footage on YouTube:

Interesting how the two top sports car companies, 30+ years apart, do things remarkably the same.
