Porsche is I think a very old and rich family historically (so industrialists even before Ferdinand Porsche)
So clearly you don't like Porsche. Thats your prerogative. Porsche build cars for the Nazi's so maybe that's your beef. MB builds some great cars. Go back in to the day, Auto Union (audi) and MB build some great cars, but sports cars weren't they bread and butter, Porsche since there inception was a sports car builder, it's in their DNA. Hate all you want, but the fact of the matter is, it's who they are.
