Same with Nissan and Toyota. Neither company has the sports car and racing history that Porsche has, so we assume that the engineering that went into the handful of sports cars that came from these other manufacturers must not have the same passion and expertise.
The exclusivity of the marque gets to our heads.

I think its just liking what you have. Thats why people with complete POS cars still love them, because it is their car.
Hell, I like the camry enough that until I bought the 951 I was tempting spending money on it to make it more fun to drive. But then I found a website where some guys turbo'd one and it still only made like 160hp on 8psi, so yeah... If I have the money my dream is to stick a toyoder v8 in it and make it rwd, but thats my crazy car project for whenever.

The 210hp,220lb is not that bad but then again it is no e38. I couldn't imagine a fwd avalon after today in the rain, I hate fwd with a passion now. Burnouts show be intended. Overall I'm satisfied with my japanese gift and how its retained its value unlike that tempting 01 BMW 330 around the corner, hmmm very temping
