If something bad should happen to Porsche, I don’t see the Cayenne going anywhere–it’s too profitable, sales are high and the development costs were shared with the VW Toureg. Maybe the Panamera would get cut.

It’s been said elsewhere in these posts that Porsche is in its predicament becaues it tried too hard to buy VW. If Porsche files bankruptcy, I rather doubt it’ll be the last we see of ‘em. Porsche will get restructured, its debt wiped, and it’ll start anew. They should be around long after I’ve saved enough to buy my 911 Turbo.

Porsche needs to buy VW to meet upcoming Cafe standards. With its current lineup there is no way it can meet them. It needs the large numbers of economy cars that VW sells to allow them to continue to build high performance sports cars, SUVs and luxury cars. A large number of 60+mpg diesel Polos would really help this. So, Porsche borrowed heavily to buy up VW shares, but, then the economy tanked and Porsche is holding VW shares that it can no longer afford to finance. Big problem. The 7 Billion profit last year was mostly a paper profit that is not helpful at all to their current predicament. So, if you are going to bash Porsche, feel free to do so, because they are threating to bankrupt out of existence a fantastic company. But, criticize the right parts of the company…..the head of Porsche.

Why doesn’t their money problems make the NEWS like GM’s problems ???? (Because they have no UAW union to bust or plants to move to other countries…that’s why.)

Toyota lost more than GM this year so far, but all we ever hear about is GM ??

Keep your Porsche’s …… they are the same old out dated roller skate design they have been making for 30 years. Tired old VW in disguise.

I’ll buy American made……..at least until we stop making them (which won’t be long till the Chinese GM’s hit the market)

….. someone who believes the government should meddle in and run his and other people’s
….. lives is calling someone else who believes in individual responsibility, liberty, freedom, and
….. trusts in himself “insane.”

Do I have that right?

BTW, RetardAgenda, I think McCain is a POS also. Ron Paul was the only decent candidate out there but since the voting populace is littered with foolish cowards about life such as you, reason doesnt stand a chance. You keep going on about making the crappy government bigger, and someday when someone you dislike is running the show, you’ll learn a lesson. I’ll keep loathing any and all forms of government, big and small, and believing in myself and taking care of myself only. Your POSident can go to hell.

keep grinding that axe, though, it’s really helping to change the world…

If on the other hand Lord Obama would keep his grubby hands off of industries that he is clueless about and discontinues its effort to tax the ufck out of energy and to bankrupt healthcare like everything else government touches goes bankrupt, then the pain will be short-lived and we can all go back do doing what is best for us.

When people vote for undefined “change” they will almost always get change for the worse. That’s because if its defined, people won’t vote for it. MaoBama knew this, but the obamatards that elected this idiot trusted more in a vague hope than they did in themselves. A lot of people will pay the price for those retards.

If they would reduce their dealer count… Wait, whut?

If they didn’t spend so much time developing gas guzzlers… Hmmph

Well, damn!

They’ll need a Porche Pick-Up! too.
And something to compete with the LWB Tahoe – maybe the new Porsche Zugspitze.

OK probably some chinese company will buy them.

If anything VW will likely turn around an end up own PORSCHE.

Also, BANKRUPTCY is not an automatic end of a car company, though in PORSCHE’s case it could mean the end of questionable cars like the PANAMERA and the CAYENNE. They could be forces back to the roots.
