Bowing to pressure, Porsche joins Hyundai in ending business with Iran

Wow, so if I go back to Iran, I can't get my Hyundai Sonata or my 996 dealer serviced. What a bummer!

Seriously, there are to opposing schools of thoughts re: economic sanctions. It puts pressure on the Govt. and associated entities (ie Revolutionary Guard) OR makes life harder for the common people further alienating them from the west. Thus playing right into the hands of the Govt.

Sad to see Porsche pulling out of Iran. Now where are the wealthy Iranians going to get there Porsche warranty work done?

They can have all the Peugeots they want. Poetic justice.

Say what you will about Peugot but they sure know how to build a bad *** prototype race car. Just ask Audi. :-)
