Look at the sales figures for the last couple of years. Porsche isn't a 'sports car' company any more. It's an SUV company that also makes sports cars.

When they start importing the 4 cylinder Macans, the numbers will be even more skewed.

I had the pleasure, yes pleasure, of spending a week in a 2016 Cayenne (service loaner while the dealership did some work on my Box). The Cayenne is quite big - but it can move! Handles great, solid acceleration, very quiet cabin but still a good rumble from the engine...

This thing is not your typical SUV.

Frankly, don't really care what other cars they build/sell - it doesn't diminish the fact they still make some of the best sports cars out there.
