4 doors…911 styling…plenty of power…Seems like the Porsche Panamera could be a decent addition to the Porsche lineup. We’ll start seeing the car in 2009 for the 2010 model year. Engines will be pulled from the Cayenne line with plans for a hybrid at some point in the future. Hopefully they’ll be able to sell […]

911 Slantnose Turbo Cabriolet
In my quest for a Porsche, I ran across this 1976 911 Slantnose Cabriolet that also had the wide body Turbo look with flared fenders and whale tail. A 1984 3.0 liter had been dropped into the car along with a few other minor improvements. The car was in decent shape with the usual external […]
Porsche Rides VW to the Most Valuable Company in the World!
When I first saw this story a few weeks ago on CNBC, I couldn’t believe what was happening. Course not being a financial guru, I don’t know that I really even understood what was happening. Last month, Porsche AG announced it had acquired almost 43% of Volkswagen. If that’s not news enough, it also had […]
Tempting Porsches #1
I’ve primarily been checking Craigslist.com for used Porsches online. Time has prevented me from looking too seriously for a car at this point, but I’m trying to at least get an idea of what’s out there. I’ve seen a fair number of decent cars, but aside from Boxsters and Cayennes, screaming deals have been a […]
Visit to Porsche Factory
When my wife and I were first married, we lived in Germany for about two and a half years. It was a once in a lifetime experience that produced a lot of great memories. One of the most memorable experiences was visiting the Porsche factory in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, Germany and specifically the factory museum. I was […]
Porsche Gems, Old & New, at the LA Auto Show
It looks like those lucky enough to be going to the L.A. Auto show officially starting on Friday will be in for a treat from Porsche. Porsche is celebrating over 60 years of Porsche cars. In addition to the usual reveals of coming vehicles, some rare gems will be displayed alongside their new kin. Probably […]
Porsche Cayman S over 300kmh
Before you watch this video, let me tell you really quick why I am posting this. When I lived in Germany, I had a friend who had just gotten a brand new Honda Del Sol. He and I both loved driving on the Autobahn. I never drove all that fast (translated much over 100mph) because […]
Save A Tree, Skip The Newspaper, Buy A Porsche – OR – Is The Newspaper Dead???
Before I start, in the interest of full disclosure, I’ll state right now that I rarely (bordering on never) read the newspaper. My wife reads it every Sunday. The most I’ve ever read the newspaper is picking up the USA Today from the Alaska Airlines Board Room to read on my once a week flight […]
edo competition’s Porsche Cayenne GTS
I’m not sure what it is with all of the Porsche Cayenne topics coming up for me lately. Maybe I’m destined to like the Cayenne after all. Perhaps it’s a way to get my wife into a daily driver Porsche that she’d actually enjoy driving every day. I ran across the edo competition Porsche Cayenne […]
Jerry Seinfeld’s Next Porsche?
Since Jerry Seinfeld unloaded his Porsche 911 Turbo S not all that long ago, maybe he was making room in the collection for the 2009 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. I have to admit, if I were judging the car based purely on the paper specs of this SUV, I’d be pretty tempted to put this […]
