I don't recall ever seeing a Porsche ad in the magazine, but you certainly can't miss the two page ad for the new Cayman near the front of the June issue. Is this the first time? It's gotta be a good sign for the magazine.

The very first thing you see when you open the magazine is the fast/furious ad. That made me happy.

It's gotta be a good sign about their readers. They cater the ads to what the majority of the readers can afford. I am not one of those readers lol. Dont mind though. Maybe one day...

Some days I like a good burger. Other days I like a good steak. I'm glad that I have one place where I can talk about both.

I'm just impressed with the guys who took out a full page trying to unload an undoubtedly cool but largely overbuilt Spec Miata... 2 months in a row.

Yep, Porsche Cars North America knows that GRM readers are pretty darn cool.

Back to the original question: Was this the first one?

I believe so, unless I plum forgot the last one. I certainly don't have any old ads in my files.

The next time that I buy a new Porsche, I will be sure to mention that I learned about the company through their ad in GRM.

Don't htink so. Straight from the media kit

http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/media/files/Grassroots%20Motorsports%202013%20Media%20Kit.pdf

"Most are college educated, and a full 51% of them make over $100,000 per year. Median age is 43."

So from that we can assume a chunk of those making over $100k make enough over $100K to buy a Porsche.

Porshe is just giving us a good look at what we'll be buying in 20 years.
