    That is an incredible view. What a blast it would be to drive a Porsche through the winding hills of San Francisco!

    @Brad – I think Deanna said it was Lombard Street.

    @Brad & @Ryan – yes, that shot is taken from Lombard St. looking to the southeast. And yes, that is the windy street. To see it on Google Maps just type in Hyde & Lombard San Francisco and you can see the same view if you look at the street view. Alas, no Porsche on Google Maps. :(

    Well, it looks like Porsche's got a new CEO. The guy who "bungled takeover attempt of VW" is out and their head of production is the new man in charge. The saga continues…

    …And, sad news from the front lines: it appears as though Porsche is going to succumb to the monster that is VW and be swallowed up into the behemoth, becoming their 10th auto brand. While I'm sure they would still operate relatively autonomously, it would be sad to see Porsche become just another cog in the wheel of a major auto brand.

    Well, maybe not so fast on the CEO part according to Wolfgang Porsche. As I said earlier, the saga continues…

    fuchs, but I always hated that center light appendage
    that the gov't made car companies throw on at the
    last minute.

    The center brake light was added from 86 on. 83-85 car don't have it.

    I wouldn't be to concerned for Porsche as part of VW. this is a relationship that goes back to the beginning of the company. The first VW's were designed by Ferdinand Porsche and most of the parts on early Porsche's were interchangeable with VW parts. The 356 was based on the VW beatle parts and both the 914 and the 924 were originaly vw designs.

    Andrew, I think they're dropping these rumors to affect the stock price to give them a stronger position in the negotiations

    @James I was with my husband when we saw one for sale in Keizer and he looked at me and said "I know what your thinking – Can we fit the girls in the back seats?"
