Here’s what I found interesting last week having to do with Porsches: Porsche adopts new marketing policy: Just say “NO” Looks like Porsche has snubbed the 2009 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto in February. Porsche officials claim they’re conserving marketing dollars by trying to connect at a better level with potential consumers. Pebble Beach […]
Porsche Trade: Steinway for Porsche???
December 19, 2008 by
In keeping with the interesting things people want to trade for a Porsche and for their Porsche, I ran across probably one of the strangest to date. Here’s how the ad reads: Would you be interested in trading your car for a Steinway grand? High end only. Audi/BMW or Porsche. Given the potentially high prices […]
Porsche 998 Turbo: Where’s the Tail?
December 16, 2008 by
CarSpyPhotos.com has some decent spy photos of the latest 911 Turbo set to hit dealerships in mid-2010. I know it’s undercover and whatnot, but where’s the classic Turbo spoiler on the back? Of course the car will be fast and filled with all of the latest technology we’ve come to expect from Porsche, but am […]
Which to Buy: a Porsche or a Glass Speaker?
December 13, 2008 by
In keeping with the bizarre things I’ve run across involving Porsches (remember the person who wanted to trade his Porsche for a track hoe?), tonight I found another strange one. This time, it was on a blog called crave. The question was posed “A Porsche or glass speaker for $168,000?”. Crazy huh? Looks like the […]
Diesel Porsche…What the heck???
December 10, 2008 by
You know by now I, along with many other people, am not a big fan of the Cayenne. Well, at least the stock Cayenne (see this post on edo Competition’s Cayenne). So when I read Porsche’s official press release late last month about the Cayenne diesel, of course my first thought was “Now the Cayenne […]
It’s a Great Time To Love Porsche
December 5, 2008 by
Disclaimer: I’m not much of a financial guy. I barely keep up with the news. I don’t know a lot about the inner workings of the auto industry. Please don’t hate me because of my ignorance. That said… I was thoroughly pissed off most of the morning yesterday as I watched the “Big Three” auto […]
2009 Porsche 911 Carrera = Classic Porsche
November 28, 2008 by
I was reading a post about the 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera this week that solidified in my mind why Porsche will continue to be a strong brand and weather the economic conditions much better than other car manufacturers. The title of the post was Porsche 911 Carrera: There still is no substitute. I can’t think […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
November 27, 2008 by
It’s Thanksgiving Day here in the States and I want to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Although it’s just another day, it’s a great reminder to step back and take a look at the things in your life that are going right as well as what’s truly most important to you. […]
VW Takeover? Not so fast…
November 26, 2008 by
Looks like Porsche is stepping a bit slower into its takeover of VW. Porsche Chief Executive Wendelin Wiedeking stated at a news conference recently “Our goal still is to initially increase our stake in VW as soon as possible to over 50%,” but it looks like this will likely not happen in 2008. Funny, Porsche […]
Visit to Porsche Factory
November 19, 2008 by
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 […]
