I agree, besides the whole thing looks chunky, like what could have been the concept for the GMC Sierra interior … I’m not feeling this design language.

Baseless

Luckily (or rather unfortunately), there’s never a shortage of invisible hands to keep arsenals busy and budgets bleeding.

Ahaha, that’s nothing — Porsche would look like a thrift store next to what defense contractors casually charge. This whole project would be a capital paradise for them.

Fear and uncertainty should suffice

Not surprising at all. There’s big and easy money to be won — no way Porsche SE is going to pass up this opportunity of a lifetime! Porsche SE et al always home in on wherever money flows. With €150 billion for European rearmament and Germany’s €1 trillion earmarked for military upgrades...

? … Don’t make that a thing

I like the colors and materials mashup — it’s distinctive and works to great effect and quite tastefully so. The car’s exterior color is echoed in the silver interior accents, while the brown leather interior complements the neodyme exterior details. The carbon mirrors and black accents complete...

It’s a sad state, really. Resets don’t tend to happen voluntarily — they’re often only coaxed by life-altering events. Historically, when trade decline, skill erosion, and societal fragmentation happen in concert, no nation has fully recovered. And knowing that it takes generations for new...

China is merely reclaiming its historical position as the world’s largest economy — which it held for centuries. Its internal stability and economy were severely weakened by the wars waged by the British, and it was only surpassed by the U.S. in 1913. And if you look closely, you’ll see they’ve...

12.5% of Porsche AG’s shares were floated as non-voting public shares, making Porsche AG hardly a public company. VAG needed to unlock capital to finance the electrification transition of the group. Additionally, spinning off Porsche AG gave the P-P family a stronger hold over the company by...

To some extent, Porsche is like Hermès. Luxury houses make their money from ready-to-wear, leather goods, perfumes, and accessories, as Porsche does with the Cayenne, Macan, and — dare I say — even the **Taycan and lower-trim 911s. Classic bags like the Birkin and Kelly are limited (but not the...

Ahahaha, I just don’t know … by the incessant and hysterical complaints going on here, one might think that it’s the “wives” doing exactly what they do best … finding something to complain and panic about, no matter what, and with little regard for “solutions” …

It could also be due to the grid, with the power supplier employing peak shaving to reduce peak load or demand, which in turn lowers the charging rate. To compensate, fast chargers have backup battery systems and, in some cases, ancillary solar panels (though not all do). These help offset the...

Porsche has traditionally differentiated the aerodynamics of it’s higher trims, with elements that cannot be optioned on lower trims.
