There's no suggestion the lawyers who conducted the class action suit did anything unprofessional or unethical. They (may have) made some money.

I think we have to remember that PCA - Porsche Club of America, is not a union to help its members with legal matters. It was formed to help people meet other Porsche owners and help them get the most out of their cars through activities like social gatherings, Parade, Fun Runs, racing, technical sessions and information.
To keep us informed about what was happening with the IMS Class Action Settlement, is certainly part of what the PCA mission statement is all about.
From the PCA website, here is their mission statement. To see what PCA is all about, you can visit this page: [www.pca.org]
The Porsche has no equal, and since 1955, the Porsche Club of America has catered to the particular needs and interests of the Porsche owner. Our main mission is to heighten the Porsche owning and driving experience, which we accomplish by meeting a number of objectives:
To promote the highest standards of courtesy and safety on the roads.
To enjoy and share good will and fellowship engendered by owning a Porsche.
To maintain the highest standards of operation and performance of the marque.
To establish mutually beneficial relationships with the Porsche factory, dealers and other service sources.
To exchange ideas with other Porsche Clubs throughout the world.
To establish mutually cooperative relationships with other sports car clubs.

Beyond their doing what I've wished Porsche would have done all along and that is take the financially responsible long term view that your current customer is valuable to you as a brand and is the cheapest future customer you'll ever get. Your current customer will also tell all who ask and some who don't about how they feel about the brand. And people buy on the recommendations of their friends far more often than because of expensive ads. Most people don't want to feel like a bozo who drives a car their friends don't admire.
Imagine if the forums were full of stories about how Joe brought his car in for service and camshaft deviation was checked and the car needed to be held a day or two longer so Porsche could fit a new improved part even out of warranty. Lowered depreciation due to brand confidence would help current/former customers into a new Porsche and not away from the brand. Dealers would gain from increased service loyalty and the labor hours they would be billing. PCA would gain new members. Porsche would gain but only by taking a multi-year view and not a quarter to quarter view. So everyone could have won.
But it is over now, the cars are so old it doesn't make as much financial sense as it did 4 or so years ago. The brand damage is done.
PCA is dependent on Porsche advertising, car samples, etc. They would have to have a big set of b...s to go publicly against Porsche. But I would have expected some quiet whispering to the bigwigs saying things like "this is turning away many of your loyal customers, you really need to put some words in the parent company to do something".
