I have to admit it. I'm a huge Porschephile. I've wanted one since I was in high school. I had a Boxster for a while (till I realized that a house and wife are a better investment .. well the house anyway, the wife is sort of a money pit ). However, I must say that I'm really disappointed in them. They obviously need to stay competitive and being an independent car manufacturer I'm sure is tough. But to sacrifice everything that they are about ... I don't understand it. At least pulling out of racing ended up giving us the Carrera GT, so there's a small ray of hope. But the Cayenne ... I just don't get it. No matter how much horsepower you put in it, it's _not a sports car_, and Porsche is supposed to be a _sports car_ company.

Oh well.

A tidbit -- Porsche also made tractors originally.
