It's all subjective, of course, but I don't think you can say flip-ups are anti Porsche.

914, 928, 924, 944, 968, there have been more Porsche production models with flip-ups than without. The factory even offered a 911 slant-nose with pop-ups. I'd say Porsche was just as into them as any other manufacturer.
