Recall Issues
I would say that this could have been one of the hardest things to really have done in the past years. A good porsche repair questions can be the key here, but i doubt that the recall issues can really help out all of us in making things work out. I hope that all will be well in this one once it's all said and done.
Wow...whats happening to the
Wow...whats happening to the engineers these days.....
REASON FOR RECALLS
Recalls are what happens when investors want more profit, quicker. Quality takes time, but when some fat @$$ investor demands his share price increase by 100% every year, companies need to cut corners, to meet that profit. The irony is that this leads to inferior quality, which means less brand loyalty, which leads to less profit. Greedy investors are parasites that move from one good company, mess it up, and move on to the next.
Porsche were at the top of their league in terms of quality sports cars. Then the investors (accountants) took control, and demanded they make SUV's and saloon cars so that they could expand their customer base, just like every other manufacturer.
The engineers are fine. It's the bean counters that need to wake up.
