    What do you think is working when your cell phone vibrates? A tiny motor...connected with an uneven weight.

    You have to realize that for a business, staying American does not equate "success". When potential success lies outside of your living place, you have to go out of the door to grab it. This is captialism. Feeling sick does not help.

    You only got the surface of the story. Yes, Porsche starts making money after switching on production lines for SUVs. But it's not the SUV that earn them the money. It's the brand name, the type of cult that surrounds Porsche over the years (namely, the performance, reliability and technical excellence) that earn them the money. So at the end, it IS dedication that wins the biggest. You have to remember, no matter what type of vehicle it is, at the end of the day, it is the exact same exercise of driving a 4-wheeled machine. So if you are able to provide superior quality to that very core human activity, you will be appreciated.
