Even though being a full blooded, bull headed kraut, I never liked Porsches as I also consider them a "flattened Beetle" design wise. (no wonder, both got the same midwife)
I must say though that they deserve where they are, due to their perseverance and their strictly followed company philosophy.
I don't know of any other car maker which is able to make just one model always look different yet exciting and still keep the traditional design path.
Same goes for the engines. 6 Cylinder flat NA or Turbo. ( remember, all other experiments were not really successull, see 928)
Such always pays
