No matter how things change they always stay the same.
Let us hope we will see something awesome along the lines of the 914 and perhaps maybe a nice AWD front engine coupe or something as well. The history of VW/Porsche is so intertwined anyways. I just realized I have only owned 2 cars that were not VAG/Porsche products. 1999 Cavalier Z24 & 3 cylinder Geo Metro. |

Yea.. I was just looking at the Yahoo new panel on this.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Report-Porsc...194028.html?x=0 Certainly alot of irony for 914 owners now. Before it was a stigma not being a full Porsche. Now it seems it was the right thing all along 35 plus years ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

So with the new merger developments, what happens to the entire "NARP" movement? Do they need to re-brand themselves to "NARVW"?

My concern is that with the debt, they will adopt the Harvard Business school mantra- focus only on highly profitable segments and sell off the rest.
That means parts for older cars such as ours will become NLA after the one time fire sale..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
