Published: Nov 19, 2012
Description: Here's the bottom line: Porsche earns a boat load of money for every Cayenne and Panamera it sells. The 911 and Boxster/Cayman, by contrast, don't produce nearly the same profit margins,...

If they were better cars I would have no problem with hybrids. Also if they were being built out of consumer demand from a free market instead of being mandated by socialist government I would have no problem. Being forced into them big problem

Hybrid cars generally have less power so will it suit a Porsche. However, it is a good car

true dat but that doesnt mean we all have to buy the EVs just the general populace will be buying them, giving their money to the ones developing and producing them

Bottom line is hybrids are here to stay, combustion engines will keep getting smaller until they are only in niche or service vehicles. It's not about how much oil is left, or batteries in landfills, it's about making better cars and more money.

So, uh, guys. How 'bout dem cars?

Guess not but that still doesn't make me any less of a person I laugh at your attempt to belittle , because I am sure you don't realize how just saying that makes you seem arrogant and conceited and ignorant

Cars are efficient enough they account for less then 10 percent of the worlds pollution

This ev and hybrid crap is so short sighted what happens when we have all these huge ass batteries in the land fills. Not to mention all the pollution it takes to mine and produce the materials for those batteries

Didn't realize I was one of the few men that read these articles. If you EVER purchase a hybrid you are of the female gender. Nuff said. P.S. Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Bugatti don't need an SUV. Porsche's are a thing of the past.

ill let my kids drive the EVs, i see no need to transfer all the worlds new vehicles to being hybrid or electric, i am open minded about it dont get me wrong i think its all interesting and yes it will make people rich eventually, fisker and tesla are making bank, but that doesnt necessarily mean its a good thing
Erich Engel Nov 19, 2012
i know plenty about the subject, i just chose to keep buying oil burning engines... and no i do not want an f70, 918 eh maybe but still i was buy used all my life if i have to. and its not about being able to work on it, or anything like that, the world has lots of gas left i dont see hybrids doing any real justice to the fact that we need to save the oil, because we really dont...

As battery technology advances hybrids will only get better and eventually gasoline will be obsolete. EV's already can produce more power in a smaller space, they're held back by battery tech.

People bash hybrid cars all the time. Those are the people that have no idea about strategic business philosophies
JB Kolod Nov 19, 2012
Agree with @emil hybrid tech is changing so quickly you can't discount ever owning one. If you were told five or six years ago about how the 918, F70, and even BMW i8 perform you would have thought it nuts. Who knows in another five years.

You'll have to stop being small minded Erich, hybrids are the future, we just have to face it, Porsches supercar is a hybrid, hell, even the next Ferrari Supercar will be a hybrid, so you're basically telling me you don't want an F70?
Erich Engel Nov 19, 2012
Funny that all the companies are building hybrids because of new emissions laws but as a member of the up and coming new car buying generation I will never own a hybrid, just because it gets better gas mileage, or ever for that matter
Description: The Cayenne e-Hybrid, as it will likely be called, will have a drivetrain similar to the current Cayenne Hybrid, only it'll be more advanced for more electrical power and capacity. The electric m...
