Awesome quote by Ferdinand Porsche.

"Ich wünschte nur, meine inkompetenten Nachfolger nicht an die Gesellschaft, die Arschlöcher in VW zu verkaufen."

Sadly, his biggest fears came true.

Translated:
"I wish my successor is not as incompetent to sell the company to the assholes at VW."



It's roughly translated so if you speak German feel free to do a better translation.

BTW, that quote is on the wall at Porsche Zentrum Stuttgart (so I'm told).

I'm sure the dilution of the 911 had him rolling in his grave way before this.

I understand how Porsche could be diluted, but the 911 isn't diluted. It's just that the 997 is wh**ed our.

USCCayman is an unknown quantity at this point
The best I can do is three quarters of German in college way back in the 70's, but I think your translation is pretty accurate. Man, is that prophetic or not!! The man was brilliant, he probably saw it coming way back then.
