C'mon Giller!

Porsche is supposed to be a driver's car.
Alright, let me rephrase. Porsche is supposed to be a rich man's driver's car. I'm not a historian, but for my entire life Porsche has always been one of the benchmarks of prosperity. If you had a Porsche, you've made it. (heck - I've only had mine for a few months, but the comments are crazy. Yet, most of the people who make the comments drive more expensive cars. They only see "Porsche" and assume).
Many many people who own a Porsche do so simply because it's a Porsche.
There is no doubt this is the best car I've ever driven and love owning it, no matter if it's killing my bank account. But the company certainly markets their cars to 'people of means'.
