Porsche is trying to be Ferrari but, who can blame them. Ferrari is totally recession proof and immune to criticism. They post huge profits and sell relatively little cars. Porsche has done a great job with their branding though. 911 and cayman share a platform and are mass produced on an assembly line but dealers can still charge big numbers for all their special edition cars. Corvette and maybe Mustang Shelby can do that in the beginning but, as time goes on it dwindles what they can sell them for. Porsche dealers can seemingly continue to charge more on the entire life of the model.

Only surrounding detail was the grooves in the bumper introduced in 2012 versus the flat look in the original design.

Yea just the ones by the fog lights. Correct, they’d have no functional use if they were real. The previous years didn’t have fake vents. Just unfortunate that they introduced fake vents on a car that didn’t originally have them in that area. Also, being an expensive vehicle I figured they could have come up with something a little better design wise.

The fake vents to the 2017 front end has made me lukewarm about it but, the front spoiler, side skirts and the rear end with the LED taillights really look good.

Glad to see the ICE Ns are sticking around. Hopefully they make another hot hatch.

Lol no way I’d have the big wang. I’d go with the first one or get an r35 wing.

Only putting $2k down was a very bad idea. Your friend is immediately upside in his loan and at that interest rate would likely be for most, if not all, of the time in the loan.

If he chooses to keep this truck. First is $23k a lot of money to your friend? Does he have a large savings already? If not then I’d put at least another $8k towards the truck. That should hopefully help keep his head above water in the loan. I’d put the rest in the HYSA. If yes, than I’d put it all towards the truck. 6.9% is a high rate, paying that down gives you an instant rate of return on your money.
