Anyone else see the Porsche

[VatorMan]

Commercials basically showing a 911 as a family vehicle ? Is Porsche that hard up that they have to start showing Mom picking up JR. and his buddy at school in her 911 ?

[Frizzle]

i have and to be honest i find it to be :cool:

i can't remember how many times people in the old c5 section would talk about all of the practical uses the c5 had for a daily driver.

Yea, but it's weird seeing Porsche advertise like that. Just makes me wonder if they are in some kind of trouble. I see advertising of low interest financing and now DD status.

I am not sure how much trouble their in as they are apart of the VW audi group.

But what will be interesting is to see how if will affect their boxer and cayman sales if at all.

Porsche has always been an "exclusive" vehicle and seems like they are trying to change how people view them.

They're just trying to sell cars in a shitty economy..

Once things get better they'll get all snotty again, don't worry about it..

Think on the positive side here. You want a 911 GT3 RS, but your wife has been dead set against it. She sees said commercial and now the idea of her picking up junior at school in a porsche appeals to her. You buy your dream car and never let her drive it. :lol:

i never saw the Porsche boxer as an exclusive vehicle... the 911 sure.. but not the boxer. Perhaps the hot soccer moms that drive coupe BMW, Mercedes and Audi might want to check out a Porsche instead.

The boxer starts at 48K and their suv starts at 47K... might be a bait and switch as its more practical to have a Porsche suv over a vert and its a tiny bit cheaper.

Porsche Five-Month Profit Triples on Cayenne, Panamera Sales

March 15, 2011, 2:50 PM EDT
By Andreas Cremer

March 15 (Bloomberg) -- Porsche SE’s car-making division tripled profit in its shortened 2010 fiscal year as deliveries of the Cayenne sport-utility vehicle and Panamera sedan surged.

Earnings before interest and tax for the August to December period rose to 688 million euros ($960 million) from 227 million a year earlier, the Stuttgart, Germany-based company said in an e-mailed statement today. Five-month revenue increased 59 percent to 3.87 billion euros.

Chief Executive Officer Matthias Mueller aims to double global sales to about 200,000 cars and SUVs by 2018, taking advantage of resources at Volkswagen AG following a planned combination with Europe’s biggest automaker. The German sports- car maker’s five-month deliveries rose 57 percent to 40,446 vehicles, Porsche said Feb. 28.

“Porsche is blessed with rising demand from around the world,” Daniel Schwarz, a Commerzbank AG analyst in Frankfurt who recommends buying Porsche stock, said before today’s release. “Production is running close to capacity limits.”

Five-month sales of the Cayenne, Porsche’s best-selling model, doubled to 20,770 SUVs following the introduction last year of the third generation of the model. Deliveries of the four-door Panamera advanced 44 percent to 9,385, while the 911 model increased 13 percent to 6,255.

Porsche is reporting five-month results to shift in 2011 to calendar-year reporting to align its operations with Wolfsburg, Germany-based Volkswagen. Porsche’s fiscal year previously ended on July 31.

Any wife that tells me what car I can and cannot buy is no wife of mine, kick her ass to the curb.
