That's all very simple to explain and as MN has pointed out the main problem with P-cars is a potentialy lethal one from the car's longevity or at least the ownership longevity. BMW had this issue with their engines and to my knowledge they fixed it.
This problem is not addressed very simply because Porsche are toooooo(extra o's necessary) arrogant to admit a mistake.
A design overhaul building on the 2000 year changes was in order. But there's been so much letter writing and ********************ing and denials that the Porsche dudes are too far into their 'lie" to admit a mistake. (kind of like the WMD issue ).

The other problems with non-lethal items are inexcusable as well but knowing that so many engines are likely to fail, before they even build them yet they still go forward putting these things out on the market for vastly inflated sums is really worth of jail senetences for fraud. Ok maybe not a 20 year stint but I wouldn't mind seeing a Porsche exec in club Fed for six months like Martha Stewart. I guarantee you there would be MAJOR changes. Losing money is no biggie. Being humiliated and labeled a crook is another matter.

But operating and maintaining a Porsche is not going to be cheap like Honda.
This is no secret, and nothing new. Its a German sports car requiring specialized labor. Porsche had the ability to bring these costs down but decided to stick all those juicy profits in ther backpockets. Expecting them to do otherwise is living in fairy land.
Like asking the wolf to guard the hen house. Especially when they keep bringing more hens!!!
