Maybe I can get a good deal on a GTIerra? No, wait: maybe a Cayssatt S? Hmm. How 'bout a GTI-3RS? I'm so confused.....

Seriously, looks like even stronger market-share for Porsche-VW-Audi-?

How about a Cayanagon?

I guess that means we now have to let VWs race with PCA

Earlier, I had read that the reason Porsche was doing this was to secure their supply line from VW. VW was supplying many of the parts Porsche is currently using so they wanted to ensure their supply wasn't cut off.
Maybe this will allow Porsche to build more affordable sports and racing cars, plus field a factory racing team using PRODUCTION-BASED cars, while at the same time allowing them to discontinue image-harming things like building trucks and sedans.
Ahhhhhh, for the olden days....back when the title "Carrera " really meant something special......
Ok, Dan. I'll sit back and wait for the first model release of the Passat RSR.

I don't think he was really driving... the steering wheel didn't move and why was he downshifting on the straightaway without entering a turn? HAHAHA!

You're so right - "I Want My Two Minutes!"

The steering wheel never moved because he was throttle steering around the corners. What driving perfection!
