Hey, my session was kind of cool. Went into this big exhibition hall and actually got to see, sit in and touch a bunch of new cars. Then you had to fill out a bunch of questionnaires - like how do you like the inside, how do you like the outside, etc. No focus group. It was definitely a Porsche sponsored event. The downside was that it took 3 - 4 hours. I’m glad I went. I’d say go if you get an invite.

Please tell us SOMETHING about the cars that you saw. Were they Porsche concepts?

IF you go, please make it very clear to them that MANY Porsche enthusiasts want their new cars. BUT... if we cant pick the car up from the dealer, break it in, drive it to the track for a weekend, and drive back home and have that passionate feeling that this car is truly the best, they need to go back to the drawing board! Our kind is STILL out there!

And if that Boxster Coupe is CHEAPER than the base model Boxster, they might have the next 944 on their hands in terms of sales!

Unfortunately none of the people that went to the session are going to be able to post anything about what they saw because we all had to sign confidentiality agreements that say went can't disclose any information without being liable for a significant monetary penality. Sorry.

Was it interesting? Would you consider purchasing one, would others?
