Porsche

Porsche is a popular sports car manufacturer amongst young humans who just got out of 10th grade. Sadly, your father will probably not give you one as your first car.

I believe there'll come a day, Maybe it will be tomorrow...

Fiction

Transformers film

After learning that Sam Witwicky got an A- on his family genealogy report, his father took him to buy a car. He went through the driveway of a Porsche dealership to tease Sam about the possibility of getting one, but alas, it was just a mean prank. Transformers

Notes

• Porsche AG does not seem to be particularly fond of Transformers. The first toy planned for the Alternators toyline was Jazz (probably to be named "Autobot Jazz" for trademark reasons) as a licensed Porsche 986. A prototype was made, but Porsche refused to grant Hasbro and Takara the license, stating that "Transformers are not worthy [of] carrying the Porsche trademark. They are war machines and the toyline in no way represents the lifestyle and ideas which Porsche represents." As a consequence, the toy ultimately never went into production. Photos of the prototype were first depicted in the Japanese book The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide. Hasbro later displayed the prototype during the BotCon 2007 Hasbro Tour; TakaraTomy subsequently displayed it as part of Transformers Expo in 2014.
  • Volkswagen, the parent company and long-time collaborator of Porsche, also refused to license Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle under the similar concerns of not wanting to associate their cars with "war toys", but later gave in to having a licensed figure almost a decade later. Maybe it's time for the guys at Stuttgart to reconsider their position? Please? Pretty please?
