I think the Porsche profitability not only has to do with selling cars, but also some sort of financial investing they had done. Something to do with securing a set price for a dollar-to-euro conversion a couple years back, and then exercising the option to purchase euro's at a very favorable exchange rate. I recall reading that (maybe in WSJ?) last year. It was THAT move which made Porsche a bundle of money.
Oh yeah, and having driven a 4.0 S-type (albeit only for my honeymoon night), and Taurus rental cars, I'd have to say the S-type is WAY NICER than any Taurus I've ever been in.
