i think more than other's rubbish, other's poison would have been closer to the mark. In Europe nearly all countries have clamped down on passive smoking as of 2007, making smoking indoors or in pubs either prohibited or at least segregated.... this is more similar to someone else's poison rather than rubbish...

I'm willing to be that a vast majority of Porsche's sales are Boxsters and basic 911s, which can reach the low 20s in fuel economy.

The congestion charge needs to be labeled for what it is, an effort to reduce the number of cars on the road.

Saying that Porsche has any significant contribution to London's air quality is something that can only be proliferated by people who don't know the real numbers of the problem.

London's real problem is gridlock, not pollution, so the "How dare you force your product on people who don't want them" argument is void.

Hey, if I gave you a Porsche product you wouldn't be too upset I'm sure.

You take the number of such vehicles you know are circulating and multiply by their pathetic emissions performance. It's not that difficult.

This may be true for other sports cars of which only a couple thousand are produced each year for the entire planet, but it's most certainly not true for Porsche.

I wouldn't have one even for free. There are umpteen trillion more intelligent ways to spend one's money in a more intelligent way than this.....

I thought cayenne outsells both the boxster and 911, but I might be wrong. At least initially it outsold boxster & 911 combined. Currently the base cayenne is also the cheapest porsche available (well, maybe not in countries with emissions based car taxation).
