Same here.

I went to porsche.com a few days ago, and the configurator is buggy as hell! Playing with options I noticed the MSRP incorrectly updates.

Hope they fix it, porsche should at least be able to hire a competent web designer

They've had a web configurator for 3 or 4 years, and it seems it's been down more than up.

Not saying that there isn't anything wrong with the configurator a helpful hint for javascript websites...You have to let the page load fully before you click on anything otherwise you will get errors from that point on. Even if the internet explorer logo has stoped spining you need to look down at the status bar to make sure all the images and javascript have fully fully fully loaded. By clicking anywhere on the website while a javascript is loading can corrupt the session. This is because javascript is complied 'if you can use that word for a scripting language' as the page loads, it is a client end 'app' not server side.

It also helps to have the same revision of javascript they used to design the website but that's never gonna happen. That's why server side apps are always better than client side. bla bla bla bla

That configurator is the worst of its kind I have ever saw.

Doesn't even come close to representing the true colors etc.

To me it looks like a cheap computer animation even photoshopped.
