05 Oct 2009 15:30:00 PDT

Porsche knows a thing or two about building sports cars , and, one might argue, SUVs . The Cayenne has been very successful, rapidly becoming Porsche's hottest-selling model. But what does the company know about sedans ? According to our own Marty Padgett, quite a lot, actually. It's not rea...

It is a delight to get behind the wheel of a car that performs so well and has such a rich personality.Well, this is about as good as it gets.

The Evora may be larger and heavier than the Elise, but results are brilliant and may just steal some Porsche customers.Company founder Colin Chapman's apocryphal credo - "simplicate and add lightness" - may have to be amended in honor of Lotus' new 2+2, the Evora. Of course, "complicate a...

Opinion: Lamborghini waiting on Porsche to put the Estoque into production

07 Dec 2008 11:13:05 PST

Written by mightyheart
Sources say that Lamborghini is planning on selling just 1,500 to 2,000 units a year - but that doesn’t seem so bad considering its a ultra-luxury brand when compared to Porsche who is planning to sell 20,000 units of the recently launched four-door Panamera.

2008 Porsche Cayman S Review

29 Nov 2008 21:00:00 PST

Driving one is not an experience, it's an occasion. 911s are that special.Climbing into a Porsche 911 is always good for one's spirits. The story with this car is the PDK (Porsche's dual-clutch automatic) transmission, and I have a few thoughts on that: First, Porsche got the hardest part ri...
