.....I think Porsche may be straying from building sports cars, and building gimmicky GT cars..... I know I have heard that before, but my new experiences with my new-to-me C2S are really bringing these thoughts to me more and more.

Couldn't agree more, Bruce! I believe [i]just[/i] the new PCM owner's manual is 200 pages 8-) and the $2K GPS isn't nearly as good as Gunter's $150 Nuvi. Porsche makes a great sports car, but all the very high margin add on options, take they m too far from their core competency, IMO.
