Porsche hybrid piece coming up on CNBC before 4pm I guess... at this point. Hate teasers! *NM*

When asked if Porsche owners are interested in the environment, the CEO didn't really say they are, but mentioned concern for fuel mileage. Ok, enlightened self-interest is a means to an end, but I don't think being environmentally conscious and being a Porsche owner are mutually exclusive concepts. Before hearing that the Lohner was a replica, I wondered how they dared having it out on a sea-salt windswept rainy dock on the Hudson. Hmm, did he actually hands-on build the car, or did he hire someone to do it?

Sunday and Monday I was riding around in a friend's Lotus Elise SC, and boy, does that Panamera look huge!

I was on a conference call and my TV was on mute so this was eye candy. Hard to concentrate on said call. They also got into the new ad campaign on everyday Porsche (snow mobile, pick up, get away car, school bus, etc.).

The video is on CNBC's Web site: CNBC Video on Porsche Hybrid

It's a major production with the actors in early 20th Century garb. The Everyday ad is nice; years ago had 40 pound bags of sand and gravel in my Boxster.

I looked at the display car yesterday. Sticker is $122,000+. They must be joking.
