You test drive a car, you buy it.

I grew up with parents who had no interest in cars whatsoever.(And yet the irony is that my brother is a genuine Subarist and I, his sister, write a car blog.)However, even my parents, who were not interested in cars, had test-driven a car when they bought a new one.I thought a car was something you test drive and buy.

However, shortly after the Porsche arrived at our home, a salesman from the Porsche dealership told us that he had a Porsche.

The new Fatty is going to go on sale soon, and we're getting pre-orders right away.

I often heard people say, "I'm sorry. I was so surprised that I couldn't help butWhat do you mean you're going to pre-order something you haven't even test-driven or seen in person?"I couldn't help but ask back, but at the time I thought that some rich person was probably making reservations as if he had some extra money and was going to buy a new Porsche anyway.

But now that I am beginning to know Porsche a little better, I think I understand why.

Things that do not change

It's not a good idea for a current Porsche owner to reserve another Porsche without even seeing the actual one or test driving it.A vote of confidence in PorscheI think it is.
In a special program on BS Fuji that covered the roots of Porsche, the director of the Porsche Museum in Gmünd, Austria, had this to say.

When I first bought and drove a used Porsche as a teenager, I had a feeling that is hard to describe. It was like becoming one with the car."

This is the same sensation that people who drive a Porsche for the first time experience even now, 70 years later.Porsche creates sports cars that inspire drivers.This has remained true throughout the ages. It is no small feat to maintain consistency in the face of changing times, diversifying needs for automobiles, and rivaling companies selling new vehicles one after another.

On the other hand, the evolving

Meanwhile, Porsche continues to evolve. My family used to drive a 970 Panamera Edition. The Panamera Edition was more than adequate in performance, and we had no complaints because it was fun to drive on the Ashiyu River, smooth on the highway, and always felt like it was driving at its best.

So when the new Panamera was announced, I have to admit.Absolutely nothing can top the Panamera today."I thought.

However, when I went to test drive the new Panamera, I knew in two seconds.

This has gone completely beyond the traditional model."

It was well understood that the new Panamera is not an extension of the previous Panamera, nor does it go far beyond the previous model by being developed anew from the ground up.

Stay the same, change.

Maintaining Porsche's identity while constantly evolving.

This is no mean feat, but Porsche owners know very well that the next car that comes out will not disappoint them, and in fact, will greatly exceed their expectations. That's why they make reservations without even test-driving the car.(You might say, "I'll buy it because production is low and the value won't go down if I buy it.")

By the way, the "new Boxster Spyder," which is said to be coming soon, has already been pre-ordered even though we don't even know if it will go on sale yet...and my husband has already made a reservation.

Well, Porsche is truly an amazing company.
