This thread makes me laugh.

 

Well then why dont you just buy everyone a 100g porsche then since you have so much money you can skoff at porsches.

 

I think you're undervaluing the Cayman chassis. I think they hold the engine back to keep selling the expensive models. Otherwise it'd be better in just about every way!

 

 

Crazy Porsche. Why would they possibly want to sell more cars and make more money? That's so wrong.

 

yes, clearly the most profitable car company in the world is totally wrong. what were they thinking?

 

I agree with the last two posters.

 

Exactly. That's the bottom line for a car company. It may make some purists [of the brand] cranky, but it's exceptional given the economic climate. A recent article discussing Porsche's revenues:

That's stellar also according the article:



Which you could argue also dilutes the brand equity.

Honestly the Cayman and Boxster are outstanding executions. It's funny you mention the CGT - ever wonder why the ultimate Porsche used the mid-engine platform? Because it's superior to 911 rear engine layout - but there's so much brand identification with the 911, they keep it as their flagship performance platform (minus super exotics like the CGT).

 

I think the OP is wrong
