Oh jeez, here we go again...

It's all a matter of personal preference. Just because someone likes something you do not doesn't make it wrong.

Better to keep the stamina for when you really need it! No need for blue *****.

I didn't say it was wrong!! I could care less really. Sight unseen for me. I would think something if I were to see it in person when driving though

It is clear to me Porsche designed the active spoiler so to preserve the clean look when car is parked or at low speed when the spoiler is down, but also to fill the need of aerodynamic at high speed when it is up. And I agree with Porsche on its approach.
