Pinnacle?
As a guy who's owned a few, I'd argue that statement. Every decade has had Volkswagen produce competent vehicles, no doubt, but they don't live alone on an island. In each and every decade, German, Italian, American, and Japanese manufacturers have been able to hand Porsche it's proverbial ***. Most at the same time.
Let's also not forget the fantastic VW sourced electrical components.
My 348 was far more reliable than my 993; things like failing door pin switches causing random alarms at 3A in the garage never failed to endear me to VW electronics.
I'm no fan of modern Corvettes, but a Z51 equipped C8 is faster and more competent than a current GT3, and it's half the price. Let's not even discuss the aftermarket for each, and potential to do more, with less. Is the interior plastic, sure, but so is the Porsche... At least it's honest. And when one breaks?
I drive German. But VW/Audi/Porsche? Never again, unless I can find another 912E (I do miss that car.)
I'll stick with a vintage E-type, anything with a prancing horse on the front, any MG, a Healey, you name it... I'd probably rather have it in my garage than a Porsche.
