The guys over at Porsche received a rather bothersome yet expected visit from Greenpeace yesterday at their Zuffenhausen plant in Germany. Greenpeace has accused the automaker of building cars they claim to be “climate pigs” and displayed the message rather aggressively by posing a pink Cayenne Turbo with a pig’s nose and ears. However, the Porsche people came to the battle completely prepared. They presented counter arguments on large banners posted outside of the plant bearing the headline “Good to Know” followed by some interesting facts and figures, such as, Porsche's contribution to CO2 emissions in traffic less than 0.1 per cent and that Porsche is introducing the hybrid engine: less than 9 liters fuel consumption on 100 km.
In the grand scheme of things, Porsche claims that it is only accountable for less than one-tenth of 1 per cent of all exhaust emissions in Germany. I guess most people’s concern might be that if Porsche does “go green” will the performance level be compromised? On that note, Porsche's parting message to Greenpeace was stated in a final banner that read, "Dear Friends from Greenpeace: Porsche is Better than You Think. But the Good News is that David taking on Goliath was Underestimated, too . .
