Mark, don't completely agree, but love the passion! Unfortunately, for a company to be viable and survive todays market they have to appeal to the largest group possible. IMHO, I think Porsche has been able to keep the Porsche panache, yet ensure its future success with its current models. Such luxury cars like Lambo, Ferrari and Aston Martin are way out my reach. Their "boutique" hand built cars will never be in my reach. Porsche has introduced a model that I have been able to afford. It will be a while before I can purchase a 911. I do agree that Porsche has added a little more "water to the scotch", but now we can all have a taste yet we still attain that exclusivity that we all want.

Dig the passion though brother. We are all Porsche-files in our own way.
