0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Set sales records' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Set sales records' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hot Porsche rumor
We tell you about the E2
From one of our Mercedes-Benz moles:
Rumor is that Porsche is developing a Jag Fighter too, a V8 Coupe' with foor doors codenamed E2. "The E2A is a 2+2 coupe, while E2B is a four-door sports wagon/shooting brake" according to Issue 488 April 2003 of "CAR" magazine. "Both are powered by the V8 Cayenne, and both have the potential to be offered in rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive." Theirs may have rear-hinged doors similar to the new Mazda RX-8 but unlike the CLE which will have doors that open conventionally. Porsche originally made an attempt to build this car with their "989" prototype developed in the mid-nineties. At that time the board of directors turned down the car saying it was "too far away from their sports car tradition". After the Cayenne, they must be thinking differently. If this car makes it to the market, Mercedes may not be standing alone with their "Jag Fighter"....
Don,
I'm with you. I don't understand all the resentment of Porsche developing different class cars. They have the name, the manufacturing and engineering capability. To keep plowing along with 2 models, which are both sinking quickly in sales is a business model for oblivion. My ego is not bruised by the thought of the SUV a 4 door family sedan, or a motorcycle bearing the Porsche name.
lambourgini made a run of LM002 SUV's in the 80's and it didn't hurt their racing/performance image.

They were, for awhile. Now they are cutting back production on both the Boxster and the 911. Regardless of how anyone feels PAG (and the dealers) need a wider product line in order to stay independent. That doesn't bother me as long as there is a "911" (rear engine, classic shape, etc.)
