They're Calling It "The Poor Man's Porsche"
I want everybody here to consider starting something subversive. I too have had people admire my FR-S. Some know what it is, others aren't so sure and ask me what it is. In either case I'm leading with the line "They're calling it the Poor Man's Porsche." I first heard the phrase in High School (in the 1960's) from a Porsche owner who dismissed Carmen Ghias as the poor man's Porsche.
Recently I found this quote: from Edmunds. “Think of it as a poor man's Porsche 911 and it feels just fine.”
If we go with the "Poor Man's Porsche" moniker it will position our cars, and us, as smart. All the fun at less than half the cost. Sure we could buy something more expensive, but why overspend to over-compensate. We're all completely secure in our manhood. It's a shame about those Porsche owners.
