100's of miles of German Autobahn to get here to Leipzig in the East and not a single, solitary Porsche!

Are London city boys buying job lots?

 

is that in or near east germany? I wouldnt be surprised, most germans cant afford even the poverty spec beemers compared to us brits.

 

Don't forget many Europeans have very different lifestyle objectives than the Brits. Buying a flash car is not one of them generally.

Generally you see more in the more affluent areas like Bavaria.

 

Not true. On the 10 or so mile trip home from work tonight along the route 2 near Hanover I saw 2 new shape M5s, countless Cayennes (not a great sight admittedly) and numerous 993/996/997 Porsches.

Germans have more disposable cash for cars than Brits due to lower price housing and mortgages that sometimes run for 60+ years.

 

Sometimes you see a few, sometimes you don't. Luck of the draw.

i got destroyed by a 911 TT X50 (996) 2 years ago in my E46 M3. Loved it!!

 

....and beer thats cheaper than table water!

 

have you seen their unemployment rates? I know quite a few german graduates that came over here because they couldnt get a job in germany, and the economy relies heavily on the automoyive industry, and those workers do get discounts.

Average german cannot afford a bmw/audi/mercedes and those that can will face the wrath of all other non premium car, drivers.

 

Yes, I`ve lived in Germany for the past 5 years. Your statement is incorrect.

The place is awash with premium German cars.

 

Nah, they were just hiding from you Ed, scared of being destroyed by an estate car

 

depends where you live. Why is there such a negative vibe then against audi/bmw/mb drivers if theyre everywhere? Lookin at sales figures along I know that the UK rivals germany in the amount of premium cars sold, and infact we have more TT's than them also, even though they have a greater population.

 

I´m in Munich (dan sarf) and Porkers are so common that you dont even give them a second glance.
As peeps say depends what part of Germany you are in. Not too much dosh in the east so.
Now a classic turbo scooby ... that would turn my head. I have yet to see one...they do exist.

 

I`m not sure where you get the impression that there`s a bad vibe (whatever that is) about Audi/BMW/Mercedes drivers in Germany. It`s not something I`ve picked up on since I`ve been here. My German friends never comment on it either.

The fact that the British bought more TTs than the Germans says more about the British love of image than it does about the Germans love of Audis.

 

Most be because your an outsider. Ive got german family, and my grandmother when from a mercedes, to a volvo, and then back to mercedes, and she says the difference in the way other drivers react to you is astounding.

I thought it was well documentated, and general knowledge that non german premium drivers hate premium car drivers. Maybe ask your german mates about it and see what they say, but maybe this is only the case outside of the big cities.

 

Off to the games conference?

 

Well if Granny noticed it, it must be true!

Honestly, you could say that about most countries, it`s called envy.

 

Hmm, I can´t recognize such a hate to the prmium drivers...and from time to time a drive them too...
I´ve also got a german familiy [].

For Porsches in Leipzig you have to go to the "Karli", have some lunch outside and you´ll have some 3-5 in 10 minutes. Or to the northern city line, there where the Porsches are build (Carrera GT, Cayenne and the Panamera)

 

My mother who was born and lived in germany for a good 25 years agrees. My dad who served in the british army and spent alot of time in germany because of it agrees also.

 

....but they produced you, who is well known for being an idiot and posting absolute garbage

 

But I do live in Germany right this minute, yes, right now and I don`t notice it.

Ale555 who also lives in Germany doesn`t notice it.

 

must be because your outsiders

 

No, we`re insiders.

 

no your "outsiders"

 

I was thinking just that!!!!

 

UK is largest Porsche market in the world, after USA.
