They have been saying it is dead for years and yet the rumors

and supposed prototypes still abound. Some will see it as a car that would have diluted the brand and cheapened the porsche name. With the rate the Macan is selling, they will be on every street corner pretty soon so brand dilution is not something I really worry about. A four cylinder (356, 914, 924/44/68, 550, etc.) would have been just fine and is just as big a part of porsche heritage as the flat six is. If they could have got this thing to the close to the size and weight of a miata with the potential power of the turbo four, it could have been a giant killer.
