scratchy, was just a hoax. of course BMW are doing a nice job for the RR brand, they would be stupid to sell it, as there is still a lot of potential and Audi will never ever sell Lambo as well. Lambo is becoming a serious Ferrari contender in sales and is def. a dreamcar maker again.

xcatchmyshadowx , but then Rolls Royce would land in the hands of Russians, Chinese, Indians , etc , the Brits can’t run a car company. BMW is doing a fine job with Rolls Royce.

Barry, Lambo is in the hands of Audi. the Quandts (who own BMW) could sell rolls royce back to engerland tho.

The squeaky wheel gets the oil, I suppose (even if that wheel is a 19″, three piece, magnesium one)

Did anyone happen to catch the news about that request by Joe Francis and Larry Flint for a $1 Billion porn industry stimulus? Haha. Cheeky bastards.

This is what happens when you don’t get the “Adolf” seal of approval when you start High Horsing, trying to buy out everyone.

Time for the Quandt’s to sell Lamborghini back to the Italians.

MRN- I’ll take a bow of HUMILITY, but humbleness isn’t real.

….messing with you man.

But yeah, I recall a profit, what is this all about? Is it really a trend this powerful?

If everyone is getting a cash handout to keep their company going, so should Porsche – Even if they don’t need it, having extra cash should be able to help them to do whatever it is they do…make cars?haha – but i’m sure the cash can help out. Even if it helps prevent them possibly going down similar paths as the other autos.

Hope the government makes them sell 50% of their company to Fiat to get the loan;)

Since they made 7 billions in profit last year selling 1 billion worth of cars (per one the guys comments here) Porsche is more financial house then automotive business. Perhaps it is delayed reaction to financial crisis, they reported billion buck profit yesterday, so borrowing 2.5 billions, if you can make in the neighborhood of billion a year or a quarter isn’t huge undertaking. Ford folks are shaking heads: we wish we had Porsche problems!

they are producing 100.000 luxury cars a year and are the most profitable carmaker on earth.
wait for the recession to end and they will make more money than ever before.
before they will die everyone else will.

Just let them die. They are a relatively low volume producer of niche vehicles for rich housewives. Don’t need them.

Porsche sucks. Outside of a short short list of a few variants of the 911 they dont make a single product that I’d want.

Johnny, these guys are begging from Angelika Merkel. I am quite certain nazi paraphernalia, costumes, whips and torture toys are going to play a large role in it.

As much as I respect the brand, I can’t bring myself to feel sympathy for companies that sell status symbols to douchebags.

I feel for them. Begging isn’t near as much fun when you take the Nazi paraphernalia, costumes and sexual aids out of the equation.

LMAO. Just yesterday the big profit was reported and I posted in that thread ….

……….Profit, bankruptcy, profit, bankruptcy, profit, bankruptcy …..
…………….. Herr Porsche: “Whacha cookin’ for dinner tonight, liebchen?”

I’ll now take a bow of humbleness as you all acknowledge my greatness!
