Porsche scores big on a number of year-end awards


In a year that has been full of uncertainty, recalls, and what-have-you, at least one brand is ending it on a really high note.

For better or for worse, Porsche has had a really good year and their fortunes haven?t gone unrecognized by a lot of their peers. The automaker from Stuttgart, Germany is being recognized by a variety of media outlets for a year where it has released a steady diet of high-performance and ultra-popular cars. While some people might think that the company was lucky to have the year it has had, the folks at Porsche would prefer to describe it as ?business as usual?.

Over in their homeland of Germany, the Deutsche Automobil Treuhand (DAT) listed three of Porsche?s sports as having the best value retention with the Porsche 911 leading the pack, followed by both the Boxster and the Cayman. Thee cars in the top-three. Pretty impressive.

On the other side of the world in the Land Down Under, a jury comprising of eleven motor journalists from the ?Sydney Morning Herald?, ?The Age? and ?drive.com.au" chose the Porsche Boxster as the best convertible of 2010 and more importantly, giving it the ?Drive Car of the Year Award? for the second year in a row.

Continued after the jump.
