What are your thoughts?

You seem confused. I am too. Personally, owning a Porsche is one of the highlights of my life but I remain a little bitter about the frequency of repairs. I think a newer Porsche is the answer.
Porsche is supposed to be the very pinnacle of engineering yet there are numerous parts that have multiple revisions and it's questionable whether or not the latest part is good enough. And no not all auto mfg'ers are like this- I've seen charts of engineer's activities and the Japanese are done fixing after 1 or 2 years. So okay it's the accountants fault- but isn't the right design going to be cheaper than multiple revisions? And then there's Porsche's LOVE of plastic....ya I know it's light weight!
