The Boxster/Cayman should be (in my opinion) one platform in coupe and roadster form. I know they really are but they have different development operations. It's time to drop the Cayenne (as VW did the Touareg) and they can bring in the Cajun (like VW did with the Tiguan). Then focus on the (only in my head) two main platforms - 911 and Boxster.

I'm not sure how CAFE futures relate. Ferrari and other exotics aren't bringing in lower-end higher mileage editions. If your pie-chart is correct, it is obvious that Porsche can make more money by selling more vehicles that have little resemblance to their original idea. That, my friend, is unfortunate.
