"5 Pointless Porsche Models You've Been PSYOP-ed Into Buying and You Totally Fell for It" - Article

What’s ironic is that they want those cars because they represent the pinnacle of what that carmaker has to offer when it comes to driving dynamics. But what’s the point if you can’t unleash all that tech the way it’s supposed to be unleashed? Why are you driving a car with a rear wing the size of Texas when you’re just going out to dinner?

That type of car doesn’t even make sense on winding canyon roads, because you’ll simply never find yourself in a position to use all that downforce on public roads. Yet, you just spend a boatload of money, probably just so people can see that you’re a “driving enthusiast”; because enthusiasts always buy the best-handling cars, right?

Congratulations, you’ve been brainwashed. And it’s not just the media doing it, but also the carmakers themselves. They quickly realized they can run this little PSYOP on unsuspecting car enthusiasts with a bit of money in their pockets. Today, we’ll be focusing on Porsche and five otherwise terrific models that make absolutely no sense compared to other Porsche-branded alternatives.

The phenomenon that this article is treating as news must be what, 50+ years old?
...and not specific to cars.

TIL that the S/T is either offered only in America, or that its price is only outrageous to Americans. Not sure, I’m still parsing this: “If this isn’t the greatest scam ever perpetrated on the American public, I don’t know what is.”

Some might argue that was the American stock market pre-1929 or maybe the subprime mortgages issued in the 00's, but I could be convinced that it's really a limited run 911 intended to be bought solely by rich people who also have 10 other cars they hardly drive. My dad bought an S/T from a Nigerian prince he met in the comment section of a Fox News article, and he still has yet to receive it. We're starting to get nervous as a few of his friends also bought S/Ts online and none of them have received them either.
