Jack Bariuth *(the writer at TTAC) rips Porsche a new one..
Avoidable Contact: Cayenne won’t help ya, Cayenne won’t do you no good. | The Truth About Cars
Well, THAT was interesting. And man the comments, talk about tangents!
One thing he failed to mention was the cost and effect of government regulations, the shifting consumer base, and the effects on an automotive manufacturer.
It seems today that to build cars, you have to be very small and basically a cottage /boutique company, OR you need to be big enough to cover the incredible costs of the regulations and overhead.
Porsche was far bigger even in the late 60s then a boutique firm, so they've had to grow to survive. (I think)
Anyway, interesting read.
Discuss.
