Planet 9 Porsche Sales Report - Feb 2010

 Porsche 911 Sales Plummet! Panamera Propping up Porsche. After penning a response in our long running topic about Porsche sales numbers for a given month I thought I'd turn that response into a news item since surely the information in that response and the sources quoted is worthy of some discussion among our members. If our members would like to see more of these reports we will certainly consider delivering more of them in the future. Our goal is to deliver the unvarnished truth and as they say, tell it like it is. When things are good, we'll tell you, [...]

 Here you go, have your cake and eat it too. Porsche is looking to prove that the best of both worlds don't have to be mutually exclusive with the 918 Spyder concept scheduled to debut tomorrow at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Looking a bit like a Carrera GT evolved, the 918 Spyder is powered by both a 500-horsepower V8 and a pair of electric motors (one for each axle) producing an additional 218 hp or 160kW. At full gallop, the concept can theoretically reach 62 mph in 3.2 seconds and nip 198 mph on the high end. On the [...]

Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is presenting the brand-new generation of the Cayenne Sports Utility at the Geneva Motor Show in early March.

K-Man S Korner - Meet your Moderators! (Part 2)
|
It is time for another installment of our meet your moderator segment! As you may or may not know, our moderators are volunteers who share an interest in the site's success and a passion to share their knowledge and experience with other members. They also help with some of the drudgery and house cleaning necessary to run a site of this size. I know they often do their magic behind the scenes and aren't publicly thanked as much as they should be. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of our moderators and express my appreciation by featuring one of them in this month's column. From time to time we are looking for additional moderators and regional coordinators, people who have an interest in getting together social events, track events, fun drives and more. If you think you'd be interested in volunteering then by all means contact me or one of our existing moderators or coordinators and let them know of your interest!
March 2010's featured Moderator is : Interpol
"I'm 39 years old, and in real life I'm an anesthesiologist in private and academic practice in Torrance, CA, in the greater Los Angeles area, where I live. I'm a relative neophyte to Porsche cars, currently on my 2nd P-car (2009 CS), my first was a 2006 CS. Married with 2 young children, currently ages 5 and 3. Other interests include road cycling, home theater, computer gaming, and hobby electronics. Previous cars include a 1995 Acura Integra and a 2003 Nissan 350Z.
Thanks.
Drew."
