When you think about it that's exactly what BMW, Merc and Audi do as well.
Most of their business comes from the same, SUVs, little SUVs and sedans, coupes. Actually you could make the argument that Porsche sell one sports car, the Boxster/Cayman and that the Carrera, given how deep its gone into the grand touring category, is now the Panamera coupe. The 911 of the air-cooled era was not a grand touring car nor did it makes it legend as one.

On this we agree.
Funding sportscars? Ha ha ha ha.
Porsche's next major release will be a mini-Panamera to further compete against Mercedes and BMW (and Audi)... although I am holding out for the pick-up truck...
