+1.

Just because it says Porsche, doesn't mean it's any good for what it is intended -- or that it ever was.

If you want to just hang it in your garage as art, that's of course another story.

I'd seriously check with a Mountain Bike forum on this. It might be a work of art, it might be a Walmart special. Caddy, Audi, Mercedes, Volvo, Saab, Jeep-Chrysler, and Ford all put out bikes to supplement their brand.

The only one I know of that was worth anything was the Ford bike - and not because it said Ford on it - but because it was built by Kona, who produces really well-made tough race-ready bicycles up in Washington state.
