I think this is a big factor. The only other $55,000+ performance car I can think of is the Alfa Romeo 4C.
My admittedly quick and sloppy research has revealed no others. Are there others? I found lots of fast capable performance oriented cars with 4 cylinders, but nearly all are under $35,000. Maybe this is the beginning of a trend?

Ultimately, this won't affect most of us who buy used, and there are many years worth of clean 986s, 987s, and 981s to pick from.
I guess I'm just more curious about Porsches future on an emotional level since I have been a fan of their work for so long.

I'm pretty sure you can get a 7 series with a 4 pot now. Apparently value is no longer in the engine, at least in the new market. Used there may be an issue.

The 968 4 pot was priced higher then the 982 considering inflation I think.... It is one of the worst selling Porsche's of all time.
