Thanks to the 93,312 Porsche type 944 cars sold in North America, in addition to the 85,778 cars sold in Europe and the rest of the world, there's a pretty strong argument for Porsche to continue supplying genuine parts for our cars for years to come.

Like other enthusiasts, I get some weird looks when ordering parts at the dealer, but it's good to know we're not alone!

 

I thought they continued parts for a certain amount of time, then quit. They do it based on the number of cars still out there?

My understanding is that a manufacturer must provide parts for 10 years after a model is discontinued (ie GM has to make Oldsmobile parts for 10 years) , but they can provide parts for as long as they would like (assuming there is a market for the parts)

 

I think Porsche should manufacture another 944... 2+2 seating, front engine, rear drive, balanced hatchback.
Use the lessons learned from the 944's weaknesses.

Style-wise, the cars are still more attractive than 95% of the cars out there.
