Porsche Boxster and Cayman Receive 2011 AUTOMOBILE Magazine All-Star Award

Porsche has earned yet another prestigious AUTOMOBILE Magazine All-Star award. This is the eighth win for the Boxster and Cayman, which are among the top winners of all time.

Each year, the worldwide staff of editors, bureau chiefs and freelancers of AUTOMOBILE Magazine convene to drive and compare raw performance and pure enthusiast appeal of the various makes and models, to see which one of the contestants is “best in class” in any one of ten different categories.

"The Boxster is an all-seasons convertible sports car beyond compare; the striking Cayman entices you to pay an extra few thousand dollars to fully immerse yourself in its sweet motor music,” said AUTOMOBILE Magazine of the German sports car manufacturer’s mid-engine line-up.  “By making the Boxster and Cayman share their All-Star awards in recent years, we’ve carefully avoided the tough decision of having to choose between these two models."

The AUTOMOBILE Magazine All-Star winners for 2011 will appear in the February issue.

Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid Qualifies for Tax Credit

That’s right! The 2011 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid has been certified as being eligible for the Alternative Motor Vehicle Tax Credit as a Qualified Hybrid Motor Vehicle. If you buy a Cayenne S Hybrid by the end of the year or have already bought one, you qualify for a $1,800 tax credit on your 2010 taxes.

According to Porsche, “In the Cayenne model line the 'S' designation indicates a V8 under the hood. But the 'S' in the Cayenne S Hybrid name is there for a different reason – to identify the true performance character of this SUV's highly sophisticated parallel full hybrid system. With a combined power output of 380 horsepower from the supercharged V6 combustion engine and an electric motor, the Cayenne S Hybrid delivers performance nearly equal to the Cayenne S with its 400-horsepower V8 and fuel economy estimates that exceed those of the Cayenne with the V6 engine.”
