I've been a fan of Porsche for over 40 years and I have seen them on the brink of extinction twice, but they have always come back strong. Now they are the most profitable car company and soon they will have the might of Volkswagen behind them. They seem to be in a great position to do some spectacular things if they want to. They tend not to show their cards until the very last minute, and usually they have a killer hand when they do. They have just come out with an even more powerful 911 with what will probably be the best double clutch set up there is. And it gets great milage to boot. They will probably sell a lot of 911's when the 997 and 1/2 model is released this summer. They will probably sell a lot of Panamera's too, which will make them all the more powerful. They seem to put their profits into making their sports cars even better. I certainly would never count them out. Who knows what they will come up with next.
