Too many posers with too much money, or that figure would be a lot lower.

Gotta love free enterprise though, it obviously works.

A new study has found that German sports car maker Porsche earns an incredible average of $28,000 in profit on every vehicle it sells. The figure — printed in Germany's Welt am Sonntag newspaper, citing a study by B&D Forecast — dwarfs the per-car earnings of virtually any other automaker.

Comparatively, luxury and sports car maker BMW makes about $3,200 per car. Audi nets a less impressive $1,580, and Chrysler and Volkswagen earn just $900 and $400, respectively.

Interesting though I do not believe we hear the real stats on the other products, % wise.

Recall when Ford bragged to Wall Street they made $6000 per SUV? Don't think too many people took that happily and sales dipped significantly. Not sure it will happen to Porsche, but definitely enters my thinking when I look at Caymans.

Difference is, Porsche is still relatively low-volume and high desirability. They maintain their value well and are great cars without all these American half-baked techno-weenie widgets that always fail in the fourth year.

Keep in mind: most of Europe has socialized medicine. That offloads some serious expenses from manufacturers and onto taxpayers. I've heard medical benefits cost nearly $2000 per Big Three unit. Not to say I agree with socialized medicine, at least as long as we have more trial lawyers than doctors, but math is math on this one.
