[Shotimes] RE: (OT) Forbes columnist on Porsche - "The World's Best Car Company"

[Ron Porter]

What??
 
I believe the term was "getting pooched". 
 
I NEVER remember Porsche as having a bad rep. This is over close to 40 years that I've been interested in the cars.They have always been a strong company that made quality vehicles. Reviews in car mags back into the '60s (I still remember the first 911S review that C&D did).There was a period in the early '90s when sales dropped, and they worked to turn it around after suffering from :German Engineeritis" that MB also suffered from.

You know all of that sounds nice and makes the company shine, but don't some
of your guys remember the good ole days when the term "Getting porsched" was
still used to imply getting a lemon vehicle?

I knew a few guys that would never buy a Porsche simply because of their bad
past. That's not to say the company hasn't turned itself around, because it
certainly has. I just find it ironic that what is called the "best car
company" now was once called the "worst car company."
