You can pick and choose inflation models and car models, but everytime I mess with the data. In aggregate porsches don't seem to be getting more expensive at a rate out of line with other cars. It kind of suprises me but if you look at the numbers with a bit of care, normalized by changes in price of other cars more than CPI porsche isnt much more egregious than other companies.

The modern tactics suck. Its mostly the consumers fault though. If you have people lining up begging to pay 15,000 to paint their car a slightly different color of grey, no rational business would refuse.

I wish they would do a lot of things different, and I think they will with changing markets, but they sure had a good run (from a buisness perspective) of milking thier customers.
