Smart people buy Porsche. Its zinc coated body will last years and years
longer than the Acura. The Porsche will keep its value. The Porsche has a
250,000 mile water cooled engine that is one of the most powerful four
cylinders ever put into production. The Porsche interior will still be
looking new while the Acuras will be driving you crazy after that plastic
knob breaks off in your hand for the millionth time. The Porsche design is
timeless, the Acura is just another car from the Japanese copy cat series
that will rust after 5 years of ownership. Most importantly, buy the
Porsche and you will be able to say you have a car made by one of the
premier automakers on the globe.
