Some here can't handle the truth?
 
Maybe this isn't new here, because it was written in 2013? Was new to me...

I didn't read the whole article, but it was slightly amusing.

I don't necessarily disagree with the authors point of view but his writing skills are about 8th grade if even that.

That is probably why it didn't get posted here...

I'll be upset when Porsche starts taking their marque sports car and build a small civil V6 version specifically for secretaries, and prices them under $25k.

They'll call it a Mustang. ;)

A little article on Henry Ford's chief Thug and Union buster:

I am about as emotionally tied to Porsche as it is to me, which is to say, not at all.

I will never understand why some people think a company should be what they want it to be. Your only control is to buy or not buy the product. Anything else is just getting yourself worked up over something over which you have almost infinitesimal input.

It was very nice of Paul to dredge up an ancient post from one of the internet's worst car blogs and post it here. Glad to see how satisfied that Mustang has made you Paul! You know, considering how you continually return to Pelican to remind us about your '72 911S and bash the marque.

Read this:

The untold plight of Porsche’s forgotten founder | Driving

I asked Don Malarkey if he remembered any special cars from the time he was in Zell-Am-Zee. He responded that he didn't recall any special cars, but that he and the other guys in Easy co. weren't too kind to the locals because only high ranking members of the Nazi Party were allowed to live there...

Wrong...they did that, and called it a 924. Ditto the 944. :D

I won't slam the article, because there may be a sliver of truth in it. Certainly the same thought crossed my mind when I read that Ferrari's strangely publicity hungry new CEO, Sergio Marchionne, is planning on making Ferrari a maker of household goods. I wonder if having a Ferrari appliance that is outperformend by a HotPoint from Sears will erode the brand?
