Porsche Financials, the 911 GT3 Cabrio-Debate Redo and Porsche 'Sonderwunsch' lets you build your own 'Homer'

Let us know what you think!Porsche has released a new update on its finances and business strategy and, somehow, managed to talk about Porsche without really talking about cars. Bold move. So naturally, James and Andy are here to overreact responsibly.This month on Curb and Canyon, we dig into Porsche’s latest corporate brain dump: what it says, what it doesn’t say, and whether anyone in Stuttgart remembered that the whole point of Porsche is usually the cars.Then we climb back into the GT3 convertible / “SC” debate, because apparently James’ opinions escaped into the Porsche community and caused a few people to spill their espresso. Were his takes fair? Was the reaction fair? Is a roofless GT3 genius, madness, marketing sorcery, or all of the above?We also get dangerously carried away with Porsche’s Sonderwunsch program, which sounds like a fantasy factory for people with unlimited money and very specific childhood dreams. So of course we ask the important question: if Porsche handed us the design team, the paint booth, the parts bin, and a completely irresponsible budget… what would we build?And finally, we have another Video of the Week. Andy picked it. So yes, obviously, it features an air-cooled Porsche. Try to look surprised.Fast takes, strong opinions, questionable financial analysis, and just enough Porsche nerdery to get us in trouble again. Tune in, kick back, welcome to Curb and Canyon.
