Does anyone believe this stuff about the camera being made in Portugal? My reading of Leica announcements was that Portugal was being developed into a specialist contractor which did not necessarily only do work for Leica. It's possible that elements of the M8 are made there (and nothing wrong with that) but they clearly place value on the "Made in Germany" label. As do I.
