Porsches from Finland
Wikipedia tells us-
The Porsche Cayman is a mid-engined, rear wheel drive 2-seat sports car produced by Porsche AG of Germany. First launched in the 2006 model year, the Cayman is a coupé derived from Porsche's second generation Boxster convertible. Like the Boxster, most Caymans are assembled in Finland for Porsche by Valmet Automotive (the rest are assembled in Zuffenhausen near Stuttgart, Germany). Porsche's Deputy Chairman, Holger P. Haerter confirmed that their contract with Valmet Automotive will end in 2012, and the Cayman's production will be outsourced to Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik of Graz, Austria. (Panorama, 2008
I apologise you learn something every day never new about the Finland connection, the Leipzig factory produces VW,Audi and Porshe 4x4 I was there this week car factories are fascinating to look round.I live about a mile from the VW pheaton factory
in Dresden and its all glass with a large glass car storage tower its wonderful to watch them assembling the cars .Occassionally they bash out a few Bentleys but I think that is when Crewe can't manage.
