You are totally correct. I was thinking about the Boxes more recent sales decline, which I don't think was inevitable. The Box has tons of sales life left IMHO IF Porsche wants to invest a bit of technology, packaging and marketing into it.

Given their past treatment of the 928 and 968, I would not bet money on that.
