Fake news : Porsche Holding SE is the majority shareholder of the entire Volkswagen Group (VW, Audi, Porsche, Audi, Seat, Skoda, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Bentley for cars, Ducati for motorcycles, Scania, MAN for trucks, Volkswagen Caminhoes e Onibus, Traton and Navistar for trucks and buses).

@@THEREALZENFORCE It's not,Porsche was going bankrupt at the start of the millenium,Volkswagen bought porsche(the vehicle manufacturer) and the porsche family made a way to hold the majority of the volkswagen group in another company.

??? Not the case with Acura at all. Jaguar is a better example. SMH

@@jmin8400 Nah, Acura is a proper example. They were booming back in the 00s and they honestly didn't step up their game when they dropped from #1. If Acura adapted, they'd still most likely give the germans a run for the money like they did back then.

@@pruhnav The hell? This was posted such a long time ago and I can barely remember the context. Acura made 1 great car and 1 heralded luxury sports sedan for 5 years. Beyond that, nothing much stood out. The first generation Legend was decent, but had yet to establish the heritage. Although it's gone, the second generation did a good job. The situations are not comparable. Acura was known for the Legend, as a high profit margin, yet large volume product. The NSX was never built in high enough numbers to sustain a large profit. It was mostly known as a high end Honda, not so much Acura outside of 2/3rds of North America. The Porsche brand existed for 7 decades, before entering the SUV segment. SUVs saved Porsche from extinction. Acura had looked into SUVs as early as 1994, hence the SLX. MDX took 5 years to devise and launch in 2000. Acura didn't necessarily need the MDX, until sedans and coupes later began to fall out of favor in the 2010s. Porsche needed the Cayenne, as the 986 and 996 might have cut costs, but they weren't going to carry the brand financially into the new millennium. Acura didn't need the MDX nor SLX, when the bread and butter car lineup were paying the bills as expected. The same couldn't be really said for Porsche, which is why the Cayenne was ordered for planning in 1995. Jaguar tried to avoid going down that road, but ultimately needed to do so. When Ford banded Jaguar and Land Rover as a unit, it gave the brand some life, from the more popular LR SUVs helping pay for the lack of revenue at Jaguar. As someone who worked for JLR and works for another company now with an MBA, I'm quite informed on this subject matter.

Yes you r right

Yupppp.

Hopefully!

Fully Agree! 🤩 The sound of the boxer engine is legendary! Although the Taycan is also amazing!

It will never be thing stop dreaming , to manufacture billions of barrels of this synthetic fuel is impossible , it will be ultimately be just a proof of concept nothing more

Well put.

Well the most popular Porsche in my area is the macan cuv which is also the cheapest Porsche

@@eugene44569 Actually the cheapest is the Cayman

@@eugene44569 the most common Porsche in my area is the Cayenne.

Sad but true and obesity is flying thru da roof

If that’s the case then please explain the reason for all the big cars from the past. Pull up the size specks from an average car from say the early 30’s like Ford’s model 730 deluxe V8 and compare it to a Ford Edge. They have almost the same height, wheelbase, length and width. The sedans from the 20’s through early 50’s were basically the same size as today’s CUVs and people were much smaller back then. Yes we have an obesity problem. Yes, SUV/CUVs are more popular than smaller cars but the size of people doesn’t have a damn thing to do with it. Maybe it’s just as simple as people like the ride height and easy ingress and egress, especially for older drivers.

Speak for yourself

Im actually skinny as hell i just hate small cars i feel like im stitting on the floor.

That was my favorite game, it's some great recall

It was BMW that started the sporty SUVs which basically became a trend. Porsche just followed otherwise they wouldnt be that successful today. Keep in mind that Porsche sold 34 000 911s in 2020 and 100 000 Macans. If anybody is ahead of anybody, it always was Toyota. Porsche was so ahead of the game, that it was eventually bought by VW.

they are not that much ahead of anything electric right now.

Pretty expensive too lol

No that would be Toyota. Never owend one and I'm not a big fan, but they are the standard. Every major manufacturer is compared to Toyota as far as reliability go.

@@anonymoususer1824 Yeah, but that isn't overall. Porsche is also reliable and executes on target with every vehicle they make. There isn't a single dud in their lineup. The same can't be said for Toyota or Lexus.

@@MercOne It is not overall, but very important. Porsche is a very, very small segment of the auto market. They don't really matter as far as the entire auto industry goes. For example if Porsche stopped selling cars nothing world change. If Toyota stopped making cars, it would cause a massive shift in the auto industry.

@@anonymoususer1824 Here's the thing I'm not taking anyway from Toyota's, but to say Porsche doesn't matter in the auto industry is totally ridiculous. They are a tech and leader in their segment. If Toyota stopped making cars other automakers would be delighted, the world wouldn't stop. Volume isn't the end all of automotive relevance, are you kidding? Toyota is a leader as is Porsche. Porsche's engineering expertise is second to none and their brand value is sky high. Just because a guy in a Highlander can't afford one doesn't change this. Total nonsense to say Porsche doesn't matter in the industry.

They have to adapt to the market. Part of the reason why Ford is the only American automaker with significant presence in European market.

Lol

But... they are Crossovers....

It’s interesting they don’t change their design much but it still looks modern. Their cars seem to age well mostly.

Yeah they are shaped like a good headache

I see why some love their old designs. Personally a fan of beemer and lambo who are not afraid to experiment.

It's only when you grow up and have your own job and income do you begin to admire Porsche's design, I remember as a child I absolutely hated Porsche cars and thought to myself why would anyone want to buy this and now as an adult and auto engineer I'm trying to save every penny to be able to buy a Porsche.

who actually needs higher ground clearance? In many places even dirt roads are super rare, with even the last bit of rural road being paved; And even some paths between fields are in such good condition that you can easily drive them with completly normal cars with little ground clearance

@@EnjoyFirefighting Plus, the higher ground clearance raises the center of gravity, which increases risk of rollovers.

if one cant afford to keep it running then they wont buy one, its the same case with anything.

@@wdvhi A lot of people buy things that they can't afford to maintain. Just look at the millions of homeowners who get into trouble. Cars are no different, especially high performance cars that are very expensive to maintain and repair, and are generally unreliable.

@@sarabeth8050 thats what i said if you cant afford to keep it you should not buy it. any smart human will know what his or her capability is , only dumb ones buy something they cant maintain 99% of the time only to showoff. and by the way , porshe is the most reliable brand in terms of luxury car brands.

True. However they have to catch upp in manufacturing. By 2025 they would be the biggest EV company.

🤦

They did, according to many early 90s reports, but very well stated nonetheless. A lot of the stock footage used is terribly inaccurate too and this is a recurring symptom of many of these CNBC automotive videos. 996 Turbo has nothing to do with that given period in the 90s, yet shown at a given moment. The people responsible for visuals are awful and think of their viewers as low intelligence.

Porsche is owned by Volkswagen Group.
