The only thing you pay for with the increased price is better materials and for the name.
Porsches are just like Apple Iphones, they are over priced for what you get. There are tons of other phones out there that has similar features for less.
It would be different for me if I was filthy rich. If I was rich then I wouldn't mind buying a Porsche.

I read up to the 7th page, and I cant believe no one brought this up! I have owned over 20 cars from all over the world. Now I quoted to make a quick point. I have bought a number of cell phones as well. I have had 4 apple I phones. I now currently have a Droid, and I will be switching back to the Iphone within the next few weeks.
My reasoning behind this is, When there is a problem with my droid, they send me a phone number and have me call someone to discuss and it never gets resolved.
This reminds me of Nissan, I have had my car in the service Dept for a bad throw out bearing and other various things. Every time they told me that the symptom is "normal". Customer service is shoddy, and I even was told by my SALES person, that he gave me a key when I had the IOu for one, then he proceeded to call me a liar to his manager.
When I drove a BMW, Audi, even a corvette, the service department was more than helpful, and would replace parts for even preventative maint. They would make sure all of my concerns were addressed, and even would call me to see if I wanted a car wash.
At apple, When your Iphone is having trouble, You go to a retail location and they will fix it or replace it altogether.
THIS is what people pay for. The service behind the initial purchase.
