Porsche profited $4.8b on only selling 246,375 vehicles in 2017. GM sold 9.6m vehicles in 2017

Did you read about the other companies contacting them about the report and then suddenly let’s pull a commercial we spent at least $800k to make (friend of mine is high up in company who makes national commercials, cheapest is $800k) after 16 days or less.

Do you really think they would have taken the ads down if they stood behind what they said? Of course not. they had to take them down.

Nope I'm not a board member but I did stay at a holiday inn express before.

Ok if you say so your the expert on why a billion dollar company does what it does. And you don’t believe why they did it right.

Look at the price of a Porsche compared to the average GM vehicle, now if GM were to sell that many vets,or Escalades than they would of made a $4.8b profit on a smaller amount of sales. Think about what a Porsche cost compared to a Bolt. Don’t forget VW owns Porsche.

A dent that would normally cost around $600 to $800 to fix ended up costing over $8000 because they had to replace the entire truck bed.....for a dent. lol
Closely inspect the hoods on a 5 yr old Explorer or Mustang and look for the corrosion on the aluminum hoods particularly on the edges. It is actually oxidation but it bubbles up just like rust. Ford's corrosion warranty only covers rust that has actually become a hole which of course won't happen in just 6 years.

What do you think those beds will look like in 10 years........

Please tell me why GM hasn’t sold as many Vettes and Escalades to profit that amount??? You do realize they only are around to make money. They could only dream to be run as efficient profitability as Porsche as a company. The VW Porsche was a family dispute between two people, it was one tried to get another bought out and fired.
