If that story is correct. Maybe VW should have waited a while (like 6 years) so as not to sway people away from purchasing one while it is for sale.
Basically Porsche was whoring themselves out to the public by making a SUV because that was in demand at the time. That kept them alive like what Boxster did in the 90s.

Now Panamera is being catered to the same people that bought SUVs but want something more liberal-friendly.

They can even axe the Boxster but the name has been ingrained and it's the best car in its class so it's harder for them to get rid of.
