I REALLY wish that Porsche would get over their, "nothing faster than the Corv... er, 911" with the Cayman, and drop a turbo motor in it.

Very true... but one could argue that pointing to the 1960s understates it. Check out this 1948 model...
Ferrari is a brand. There is no single iconic Ferrari. Ferraris scream, Ferraris are red, Ferraris are Italian, and Ferraris are sexy and emotional.
Porsche is a design and philosophy. Porsche is conservative, Porsche is measured. Porsches look like this:
As for profit, Porsche is profitable not just based on good business practices, but based on the fact that they can control pricing on their cars because the brand is so strong and the demand for them and the brand is so strong.
Nine replies and nobody cares... in your backwoods home. Meanwhile in civilization, Cayennes, Macans, and Panameras sell because of cars like the Cayman, Boxster, and 911.
Backwoods, yeah right. . I'm a city boy and a traveler. I'm in New Orleans right now. I haven't seen a Porsche all day but I bet I will tonight when all the idiots come out to play. So sure a few people care at least enough to show off. But none of this means anything relative to my original statement that the car is a big yawnmobile to me. That's what is known as an opinion and I'm telling you right now I'm aloud to have one that doesn't agree with yours on this subject.Ferrari is a brand. There is no single iconic Ferrari.

The go-to here from anyone who realizes how puerile and weak their arguments are is to imply as though I'm attacking his opinion and that he is ALLOWED to have one.
That's great, but so can everyone else. I didn't give my opinion, I gave generalities about Porsche, Ferrari, and why Porsche is successful.
Is that a very generic, non-confrontational opinion of the car, or are you assaulting the car and the brand with wild accusations and pig-headed comparisons that make sense to nobody with a critical thought in his or her head?
You say something ridiculous, and then hide and pretend like all you said was "Not a fan, pass!" like you're a victim. Grow a spine or don't say anything you aren't prepared to defend... that's the point of a forum.
No, the difference here is I gave an opinion and YOU started in with name calling. A personal attack that was irrelevant to the topic at hand, and that is about as spineless as it gets. An apology would be appreciated.allowed*

I generally referred to people who hate Porsches because they have a shared look as brokeback rubes.
Don't take it so personally.
