The modern Porsche is based on a growing trend by other manufacturers (automotive and otherwise) to prevent the owner from actually being able to maintain (or even understand) their automobile.
Porsche doesn't want enthusiasts. They want "Platinum Credit Card Mechanics". They want people who drive a Porsche as a piece of jewelry or a status symbol.
THIS is the reason I will NEVER own a modern Pcar. The company that I grew to love and revere is gone! I don't want to read Excellence or join PCA so I can have dinner at wine and cheese events. If I ever get to the place were I can afford another sports car it will probably and 60's American muscle car.
