And for the same reason that's why US cars don't sell... Andre Neves: Yes, it’s as simple as that…You make a good product and people will buy it, almost regardless of the price.

Custom choppers aren't cheap either, West Coast Choppers and Orange County Choppers being a prime example.

They go after what Ferrari does: offer a base model car with nothing, and because people still want a Porsche with stuff in it offer them really expensive options and they will bite. Its a good, profitable way to sell cars, however i will never buy one because of that. As someone stated above, i want my 80k car to come with AT LEAST xenon headlamps and power seats.

No wonder they have record profits, I think they followed the business model of Harley-Davidson.

It's funny how the company which almost collapsed(financially) back in the mid to late 80's has turned everything around and become the most profitable in two decades. Go Porsche!
