"Class Action" was the name of the movie, but my post was just referring to the rationale given for the plot, not a call for a lawsuit. Porsche didn't fix the problem because it was cheaper for them not to and while we may not like that attitude, it's part of why the company made record profits, along with new models like the Cayenne and Panamera.

The only way all this will impact Porsche is if new car buyers are put off by the poor resale and avoid the brand, which doesn't appear to be happening. People afraid to buy 10-year old cars doesn't bother them in the slightest.
