Building grandpa ride cars is fine, they should just call them something else other than Carreras. This is like Tony Stewart thanking his crew for making his Camry awesome to drive in a NASCAR race. But in reverse. Porsche is using a car's racing heritage to sell something cushy and automated -- when those two things weren't what made it cool in the first place. Keep the Carrera and Boxsters as they are and simply come up with a new name for a coupe that a doctor, Chinese billionaire, rapper or Hollywood actor would want to drive.
They're trying to have it both ways and in the end they will be making Porsche nothing different from Audi, Merc, Jaguar and BMW. Cars with more and more power and more and more driver assists to keep said doctors and billionaires out of the Armco.
