About the Direction of This Blog

Today, I’d like to continue from what I wrote earlier about “the direction of this blog.” Back in July, I wrote that I want to nurture this blog into a helpful resource for everyone considering purchasing a Porsche. That’s simply because I genuinely thought, “It would be great if such a blog existed.” (Here’s the article from that time↓↓)

→[Reference Article] Welcome Home, PORSCHE – Seriously Considering the Future Direction of This Blog

After publishing that article, I felt like I had made a rather ambitious claim about “growing into a blog that helps everyone considering a Porsche purchase gather information.” Then, I received a comment from a reader that went like this:

Exactly that. It’s hard to find real information about Porsche, and I really want concrete opinions from people who have actually driven one. Especially with so many options, it’s hard to know what’s truly necessary, and the long delivery times make it tough to take the first step. I’ve owned BMW, Audi, and Mercedes before, but Porsche feels a bit intimidating. However, the other day, I went to see the Macan but ended up test-driving the Panamera, and now I can’t get it out of my head! Despite its size, it was easy to drive. Since I used to drive an Audi A7, the size might not be an issue. Please keep sharing more! (kuni)

Oh wow, that makes me so happy (ﾟ∀ﾟ)!!

Porsche Owners File

Later, another reader messaged me saying “After reading your recent article about the blog’s direction, I’d be happy to provide information about my own Panamera if you’re interested.” Along with that,

I hope this blog thrives, grows its community, and that even one more person falls in love with Porsche…

Such messages… wow… I feel like I’m being blessed… (T_T)

Inspired by these messages, I started thinking once again, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if this blog could be created and energized together with Porsche owners all over the country?” — yes, I’m dreaming big again.

…When I told my father about this (he knows I run a Porsche blog), he said,

“That sounds great, but isn’t that really something Porsche Japan should be doing? Why don’t you just leave it to Porsche Japan? (laughs)”

…Well, he’s right (-_-). It’s something Porsche Japan should handle, and maybe I shouldn’t be sticking my nose in.

But I believe there are many things I can do as just a Porsche fan and car blogger. Since I don’t have to worry about pleasing dealerships or companies, I can write my honest opinions about what I like and don’t like, what’s good and what’s not. I think these genuine voices are exactly the kind of information readers want, so I hope this blog becomes a place where real voices keep gathering.

So, soon I plan to launch a “Porsche Owners File Project” where Porsche owners can provide information that will be published on the blog. We’ll collect details like why they chose their model, actual driving impressions, useful options, fuel economy, and more, then edit as needed and share it here. (Right now, I’m preparing the first article in collaboration with a certain owner.)

I hope to feature information not only on the Panamera but also on the 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan, and all Porsche models.

The dream keeps growing. Moving forward, I want to continue running this blog steadily, without rushing or getting complacent.
