Porsche stops production...

Germany's Porsche curbs production as sales dip

Sportscar maker Porsche SE said Tuesday it would curb production as a result of weaker sales amid the global economic crisis. Weaker demand prompted Porsche to stop assembly lines for one day last Friday at its Zuffenhausen plant, the company said. Stuttgart-based Porsche said it would have seven more work...

I think it's probably a really smart thing for Porsche to do. When demand goes down, reduce the supply or the value will diminish.

Chris,

997 GT2's are now going for MSRP....is there maybe a Porsche employee pricing program in the works?

On an unrelated note, should I conclude that you have totally ignored my request for a pic of your nurse?

Sean... to give you some idea what is also going on in UK

997TT retails roughly 110K Sterling (todays US rate roughly 170K)

Main dealer are selling 06 cars (not a lot of miles) at now 60K (todays US rate roughly $92K)

Big drops!

I honestly think this Panamera is going to hurt big time

Wow Steve, that's pretty interesting.

Sorry Sean, I didn't mean to appear to ignore your request. She is a sugary sweet young lady with a heavy Georgia accent, but unless you have jungle fever and a pension for moms that are 6' and married, she is not your type.

George, you have little to worry about when it comes to thread jacking...at least you kept it within the realm of cars, unlike Sean who is in need of nurse photos!

I'm really happy to hear you love the exhaust. What sounds "good" is completely subjective. Glad you nailed it without going through several systems. So what is next on your mod list???

My personal favorite is Sponge Bath Betty, although I am curious as to how the Head Nurse got her name?

Sean, you are the only person I know whose rep points increase as a result of off topic posts.

Chris,

I checked, no-one gave me rep for that post. For the sake of truth, you now know what you must do.

If you want, I can create a separate post w/ my great Nurse jokes...in the OT section, of course. The prob is all my peeps are here.

Paulie,

Is she spankalishous?

I think its fare to say this is happening everywhere. Industry cutbacks are going to effect us all for some time to come.
