Will Porsche do themselves in?

Does anyone think that Porsche will do themselves shortly with so many cars available? During most of the 90s Porsche only had 2 or 3 cars to choose from. Now there is the Boxster(and the S),911(there are currently eight models soon to be nine),Cayman S,Cayenne(Cayenne,Cayenne S,Turbo and Turbo S),Carrera GT, GT3 and GT2 and soon to be Panaroma(I think that how you spell it) and talk of a new 914. Do not get me wrong,I have liked and enjoyed every Porsche I have been in(including 944s). I think that Porsche is making their market too big for a entry level sports car at $45k(Boxster) and the entry level Cayenne at $42k. I do not think that the majority of the population has this much money to spend on a car,especially a entry level non optionally equipped car. Now from a manufacturing standpoint why do they have the Cayenne Turbo and the Turbo S? Is the 0-60 in 5.2 seconds not enough,the Turbo S hits it in 4.8! That can keep up with their legandary 911! Shouldn't Porsche just make the Turbo S and knock the Turbo out the window? Just wondering if Iam the only one feeling this way.
