A headline on MSNBC.com caught my eye a few weeks ago. It said, “Porsche among road warriors that won’t die” and got me to thinking about Porsche and their reliability.

November 5, 2010 by
I’ve read quite a bit about this over the last nearly two months and I’m wondering what the general consensus is. Many sites claim Porsche is entering Formula 1, but I haven’t seen anything recently. I’m also wondering how the potential issues with the VW merger may impact Porsche’s ability to pull if off. Not […]
