At the risk of provoking the "no politics and religion boys", here is one big reason to keep your old car on the road. Our little Porsches are actually great on gas mileage, and considering the upcoming costs one of these new cars will put on the consumer, I think it is best to keep the old ones humming. And by old, I don't just mean our '70s era cars. I forsee the "aftermarket" growing larger for keeping even our newer, pre-nanny state cars on the road. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090519/D989J3F00.html |

Also, not to get too political, but I don't forsee Porsche able to get the type of performance that they have been known for and also get 39mpg. How about Ferrari, Lambo, Bentley, etc?

This is why they bought VW...the standards are for the entire fleet of vehicls sold.. Once Porsche bought VW...their fleet (lambo and bentley included) got alot larger. They are now in compliance with the new standards. Rich |
