Dear Herb

I have just leased a new 2009 Porsche 911 Carerra 4S (122,000$) from your
Porsche Sales Manager,  Peter Wienstroer. I was all set to purchase either a
2010 Jaguar XKR or an Aston Martin DB9 but thought I should check out
Porsche first. Peter was terrific. I have never met a sales person more
knowledgeable about a product. I am an inventor and a Professor of
Mechanical Engineering at MIT and so like to understand in detail any
technology I am buying. Peter was able to answer even the most detailed
mechanical questions instantly and even knew the answers to my many
questions in metric units. He immediately realized that the new PDK gear box
in the 911 would be of great interest to me and indeed after a test drive
there was no way I could consider either a XKR or a DB9 with their old
“tiptronic” like transmissions. Peter is easily the most impressive car
sales person I have ever met. Good work for having someone of Peter’s
caliber on your staff.

Regards, Ian
