If you understand German make sure to check out the links for the newspaper articles. Ouch they have a tough pencil. ;)

One of the poster's comments:

"Der alte Herr Porsche hatte früher die Maxime herausgegeben, nicht mit riesigen Luftansaugschächten zu protzen, aber wenn ich mir das hier ansehe, dreht er sich bestimmt im Grab um, aber mit Höchstdrehzahl ... " (I couldn't agree more, Mikkel).


It seems the avarage German Porsche owners pretty much agrees with the Cayenne sceptical pelicanheads.

If anyone cares, here's some French reviews on a 911 amateur site.

It looks like the sentiment is quite general, but then we must remember these are all, in essence, 911 sites. I guess we are a bunch of navel-staring esthetes...

But I agree with that German gent in that, Dr. Ferdinand and Prof. Ferry all had very different concepts in mind, far removed from the present-day mentalities. Quite normal, no?
