They truly dropped the ball in terms of customer relations and marketing. They should have come up with a 6 or 7 year warranty, much like Kia did to alley fears of reliability, spent more money on proper advertising (remember Jennifer Lopez and the Fiat 500). I still love my Giulia QV but enthusiasts like me are far…

Most of the people commenting here have never driven a Tesla nor a Porsche. They are marketed to two different segments. The Model 3 is absolutely trouncing BMW/Merc/Audi/etc. That’s where the money is, not at the trophy car $150k range. I own a model X p100 and poor fit and finish aside, I’ll never buy another SUV at…
Why does Alpina slap those hideous ‘88 Town Car wheels on every model???
Come on...surely this is just a joke.
I don’t blame car companies for setting up plants in Mexico. American workers ESPECIALLY millennials truly don’t want to work hard anymore. As a business owner, I’ve never seen anything like it in my 20 years of operation. A good amount of them these days prefer temporary jobs which don’t require responsibility or…
So the tires on the Taycan gripped better in the rain than the Model S on the acceleration test...Still doesn’t prove anything.
Frankly, their cars over over stylized when the general trend in design is towards simplicity. They missed the boat about 5 years ago. That said, I don’t know why people still buy Lexuses either.
All these cars are seriously flawed if you’re a family man but want something is enjoyable. For me the Alfa Quadrifoglio has been the answer to my 500hp itch. And yes, it’s been flawless in 2yrs of ownership.
Why would Ford leave the B pillar as is?? They went 95% there but then decided to leave the frame simply painted unlike what Rolls properly does with their B pillars. Seems half-assed to me.
I got one of the original Launch Editions of this car back in 2015 and promptly added a Stage 2 kit. The car drove like it was on rails and one of the most fun cars I’ve ever owned (I traded in my then current edition 911 at the time plus cash) and had no regrets...
Tesla a current owner and ex Porsche fanboy here...Don’t forget, Taycan got beat handily beat by a 2012 designed vehicle currently at 60% of the price. And you don’t need to pay $600 for an option to play an MP3 sound of car zoom zoom noises.
THIS.
Mkay buddy.
Why is he even bothering with this? The Model S debuted in 2012. The fact that they are in the same league actually says something about the Porsche.
Signs of over-compensation for something lacking:
I’ve owned both brands at their upper levels, and can tell you this...the new Porsche design are NOT made for anyone in “sport” in mind with the exception of their 911 GT lines. Just look at that silly shifter in the 992.
I find it laughable that you’re comparing a new car at a $70k premium to a 8 year old design once this thing is released.
If you were to kill off those alien-like front LED lights that hang so low, it actually is a cleaner look than the Aventador.
Truth is , expensive wagons don’t sell in N.A. and sell in low numbers in Europe. Add to that, this nutty sport cute CUV craze and the accountants upstairs will poo poo the idea before it makes it off the napkin.
Audis have always been popular in Europe for their understated elegance and well appointed interiors. No so much here in N.A.. That said, their new lines truly look exciting and leave BMW in the dust.
