I purchased a copy of RS magazine last week with the results from a survey involving 568 french 964 owners. The magazine is written in french so I've translated some of the results below. There seems to be a very active P-car owners group in France. Their magazines are quite interesting, the articles go into more details than the english magazines.

Here are some of the results.

Fascinating stats. I bought a German Porsche mag in Berlin last month, even though my German is pretty weak. Seems the detail and scope of articles is much deeper than the English mags.

Would be facinating to see these stats for North America. And I found it especially interesting how few respondants have white cars!
