In my earlier post regarding New prices for the Porsche Cayenne, I speculated that Porsche's strategy to keep inventory low at most US dealers appeared to be working (at least for the Cayenne). Today, in news from Stuttgart, Porsche released year over year sales figures for March 2008. Not surprisingly, overall sales were down by 24%. Very …

New prices for the Porsche Cayenne
At first I thought it was a joke (April Fools maybe?). But, then I realized it was still March (at least when I posted this it still was) and April Fool's day is not until tomorrow. The timing seems odd to raise pricing on their most profitable model. According to most economic pundits, we're in the middle of a significant global economic …

What is the purpose of zero to sixty straight line comparisons, especially when the cars are not evenly matched in the first place? I think the answer depends on who is conducting the test. In the instance of this post, it’s Autocar and Chris Harris. Simply put, I think this type of test brings eye-balls to a web-site and helps to spark …

Admittedly, not all the news that Porsche releases to the press is exciting. However, what caught my eye on this particular news note, was the display they are planning with regard to various Porsche exhibits. More specifically, on display (among other interesting Porsche cars) will be the 1971 Porsche 917 "short-tail" that won the '24 Hours of …

I'm a bit of a "Porsche Purist", what others may call a snob. For the most part, I like my Porsches to be original, true to what the manufacturer intended with little to no modifications. As an example, my 1973 911T was all original (including paint and interior) with no modifications. My current 1997 993 C4S is exactly the same, all original, …

When most of us think of "electric" cars or a vehicle that is purpose built to be environmentally friendly, the Porsche brand is probably not top of mind. It's not that Porsche makes cars that pollute any more than others (despite all the recent news in London) it is simply a matter of being better known as makers of the ultimate, everyday …
Continue to the full articleDennis Rodman’s 1996 Porsche 993 Twin Turbo for Sale on eBay! Maybe?
I'm always on the look out for interesting finds on eBay with regard to Porsche cars and products. This one was too good to pass up. According to the seller, this car was purchased new by Dennis Rodman (of NBA fame) and "optioned accordingly". Here's the catch, the car has little to no service history and nothing to prove the provenance of …

The answer just may depend on how your system is set-up. Most people I know complain that they lose all “seat of the pants” feedback when it comes to car racing simulators and video games. With the introduction of Fanatec’s Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel, that objection may just go away. Fanatec's Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel is an officially Porsche …

Just in case you needed a reminder or have been living under a rock (assuming you are a Porsche fan of course) the new RS 60 Porsche Boxster Spyder "officially" goes on sale today. I say officially because it is my understanding that Porsche has been taking orders/deposits on them for quite some time. You too can have one of 1960 (marketing can …

Irony, you've gotta love it. In this post a few days ago I thought I was helping to "set the record straight" with regard to a Porsche 993 Turbo S previously owned by Jerry Seinfeld. As it turns out, despite my best efforts, I only helped to add to the confusion. To prepare for this article, I contacted Richard Sloan (previous owner/seller of the …
