A Couple of Big Awards for Porsche
- 28 Comment
In the last couple of weeks, Porsche has won two of the industry's most coveted awards for several of its cars. The first is the Automobile Magazine All-Star award. Every year Automobile Magazine's staff get together to drive and compare ten different categories worth of cars. The 2009 911 is just the latest Porsche to win this prestigious award. Comments speak volumes about how Porsche performed this year:
"There is no doubt this is the best car in the group." Marc Noordeloos
"The 911 has a sense of theater at any speed and remains the world's best sports car." Jason Cammisa
One Automobile Mag staffer, Amy Skogstrom, when asked for a recommendation without hesitation: "I pretty much always say 'the Porsche 911.'" Pretty impressive given the stiff competition the 911 faces each year in it's category. Read more including the full article here.
The second award is the addition of the 2008 Boxster and Cayman to the "Recommended" list by Consumer Guide. Editors put cars through their paces using an 11-point evaluation process that leaves them with the best cars in particular segments based on an "every-day driver perspective." Both the Boxster and the Cayman emerged at the top of the pack despite there being less expensive sports car available.

Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, in the truest sense of the word: the 911, the Boxster, Cayman, and Cayenne has numerous prizes and awards for the German manufacturer of sports cars. In all kinds of contests, competitions and tests, both the public and the press, customers and connoisseurs confirmed through their voting that Porsche continues to outperform even the greatest expectations in the market.
Porsche has become a regular winner in the contest for the “Best Cars”, conducted each year by Germany’s leading motor magazine auto motor und sport among its readers………Porsche Rocks!

Porsche has always been a benchmark for other companies to live up to and to strive toward. The engineers of our favorite company have never accepted less than perfection, and the new mid-engined addition to the family (cayman) has done nothing but aww the reviewers and testers. Congratulations to all the hard work to keep up the legendary name of porsche!

That really is one sweet ride. Nice awards/recognition. Although I'm pretty sure Porsche is the most awarded/recognized car in the sports car class out there.

No need for sirens to announce the 911's superiority, merely states the obvious.
