What? A bump in my throat? I get nervous around Porsche's. I choke up and can't speak.

Oh it's the manual transmission that was dropped. Sorry. Thanks for the clarification.

Those are really creative commericals, the kid and the salesman made me smile, it was so precious. But the new one with the models singing to their lovely exhaust, its a minute long, most cost a fortune to air on tv, and the kid and salesman one is 3 minutes long, im sure they cut some pieces out or play it during some major sporting event like the superbowl

Am I the only person who can't stand porsche? I don't like the look, I've driven a few (boxster S and cayene S) and neither interested me?

Pretty cool ad, but like I said porsche does nothing for me.

Then I guess you really don't like sporty cars.

Hahahaha, far from it! I really enjoy classic cars, and probably the only porsche I'd ever think about would be the 356. Either way, I'd take the sound of a A-990 dodge over a porsche any day.

Ah well I have no interest in 'classic' cars unless they're REAL old with the bug eye lights and boat-like coach work (think Duesenberg, old Bugattis, Rolls Royce, etc.).

If someone gave me a Porsche 356 I'd sell it immediately. Too much of a headache and no safety gear.

Different viewpoints!

Nice commercial except that they pronounced "Porsche" wrong.

I like how most Porsches look but I've also driven a Cayenne and it's one of the worst cars I've ever driven (talked about it a bit in my German car thread). Starting with the idiotic left handed ignition to the hardest accelerator to control smoothly and brakes that stop too sharply. I wouldn't drive that thing for free.
