I only ever dip in and out of some of those Porsche threads but it always surprises me how political they get.
Also to bring it back on topic, I loved the repetition in that thread of the whole; "they'll never put a 10% tax on German cars" argument...
....on a Porsche thread...
... posing the question as to whether you can get a decent spec car for <£120K...
...where people routinely talk about spending k's on aesthetic extras with an assumption that paying above RRP for something is a financially astute choice.
It utterly baffles me why people think that customers aren't going to pay an extra 10% premium on premium cars in a world of finance so cheap that paying cash costs you more.
Seriously what are all these Porsche and BMW buyers going to do? Buy Hyundai Coupes and Mondeos?
