Once all the dust has settled, I've actually thought about writing something up about Porsche's decisions as a company during the time period of the late 1990s into the early 2000s -- it looks like they made a lot of really bad decisions regarding quality control and customer service, both of which (based purely on circumstantial evidence) have improved since around 2010-2011.
The IMS issues, blue paint, bore scoring, oil delivery issues, and Porsche's apparent cover-up of some of these sort of boggle the mind. And then, of course, there's Dieselgate (but one has to wonder how much Porsche actually knew about those issues). Who knows whether or not the 991/981 series of cars will end up having any kind of reliability/quality issue that plagued the m96/m97 engines. I hope not. Right now it LOOKS like they're better... but it takes a few years to find out, sometimes, as Cayman owners are now finding out.
