Autocar - First for car news and reviews

I read Porsche UK sales are down 20% on last year in the UK and I am glad. I bought a new 911 C4S in 2004, it cost me £77k. One year later I got rid of it and Porsche offered me £52k! But what made me walk away from Porsche as a whole is their arrogance. I will never buy a Porsche again. They assume you are content to buy into the ‘lifestyle’ of Porsche ownership whilst they continue to dilute the 911 range with more and more variations. The 911 is a common car and they depreciate. Sales are down because they all look the same. Porsche should limit the 911 range and keep it as high end exclusive model. The 911 is a sports car, so charging extra for a sport exhaust is a joke. I can understand the Aerokit and Ceramics etc being an option, but not a sports exhaust. I am glad Porsche are introducing the Panamera and the Cayman is a great addition. So why Porsche persist in diluting the 911 range and having up to £60k difference between certain variations in the models is beyond me.
