I am a fan of the business people behind the making of the Tesla Roadster car such as Elon Musk, but as the date approaches that the first Tesla is driven by a consumer, I ask myself, would I trade the opportunity to own a new Porsche in order to own a Tesla Roadster? I have to say that my answer would be a resounding no. I of course am making this judgement on the grounds of the car alone, and not the environmental advantages that a Tesla Roadster might bring. As an apple to apple comparisson I would take a Porsche 911 Turbo any single day over any new sports car out. Call me biased, but I am a diehard Porsche lover, and no new sports car, even with a cost of only $.02 cents a mile to drive would ever change the way I feel. That's just me though, I would love to hear all of your opionions.</span></div>Rob Plainnoreply@blogger.com
