Why are Porsches so rare?

In Europe they want 4-seater sedans that get great gas mileage and can be serviced anywhere. A liter of regular over there is about $4 maybe higher now. Also space is very limited and usually one car is all a family can afford. Me, I have 3 auto's and plenty of room to park and roads to drive on. We are blessed as a people to have so many choices and able to enjoy life. Since I have bought Boxster, I usually will see one every other day or so. Seems when you by something you then notice more of em.

Here in Australia we have a total population of just over 20 million people, 143 million kangaroos and only 7 Porsche Centres - all of them in the 6 major mainland cities.
Thats why P cars here are as rare as hobby horse sh@*.
There's absolutely no truth that its because a new Boxster (base) costs $115,000 or a Boxster S is stickered at nearly $150,000. Heaven knows what a new Carrera sells for.....
Nah, its not the cost at all which makes them rare....
