ATLANTA, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- In a national survey conducted by the

Porsche 911 model line as the most satisfying Premium Sports Car, winning the
Vehicle Satisfaction Award (VSA) in a competitive field that includes some the
world's most renowned nameplates.

Just as importantly, in the same survey, auto buyers overwhelming selected the
entire Porsche brand as the one they would recommend most to their friends and
family. This very coveted award demonstrates the passion and devotion owners
have for their cars.

"The thing we really see is that if an owner is willing to recommend a
vehicle, they are making a real commitment to it," said George Peterson,
president of California based AutoPacific.

Porsche had the highest most-recommended score, with 91 percent of owners
saying they would "definitely" recommend a car from Porsche's full-line of
offerings.

In the same survey, which included more than 25,000 consumers from around the
nation, owners handed the 911 top honors in the highly competitive Vehicle
Satisfaction Award for Premium Sports Cars. The VSA is considered an industry
benchmark for objectively measuring how satisfied an owner is with his or her
car or light truck, and reflects the opinions of consumers nationwide.

"AutoPacific has conducted this industry research since 1997. Vehicles that
score highest in AutoPacific's Vehicle Satisfaction Awards have hit the mark
delivering value and satisfaction with their buyers by performing well in 48
separate categories that measure the ownership experience."

Porsche introduced a new generation 911 model series last year. All 2009 911s
offer a higher level of performance with improved fuel efficiency thanks to
higher displacement engines with direct fuel injection (DFI) and the new
optional 7-speed double-clutch gearbox Porsche-Doppelkupplung (PDK), a
racing-inspired technology and a Porsche first.

In addition to identifying category winners, AutoPacific's Vehicle
Satisfaction Awards establish numerical satisfaction ratings for virtually
every passenger car and light truck in the North American market. Owner
satisfaction is measured across specific areas related to a car's operation,
comfort, safety and overall purchase/lease experience. The 2009 ratings
reflect input from buyers and lessees of new vehicles acquired September
through December.
