It makes very, very good sense for Porsche to offer the Cayenne and Panamera. By having higher volume vehicles, it allows them to have profits to still continue their business of producing sportscars. To me, if Porsche kept with the 911 and Boxster only, they might not be doing very well at all, if they would still exist.

3200 pounds is a heavy car, In 1995 or in 1012.
The 991 is about 300 pounds heavier than the 996, by the way.
