For every subsequent model since the 356, Porsche lovers have cried foul. First the "heavy, expensive 6 cyl 911", then the 914, then the 924/44/68 series cars, then the 928, then the Cayenne. Perhaps only the Boxster, in show car form, was the least derided "future porsche" that comes to mind.

I am sure it will be a fantastic car, as were the 928, Cayenne, Boxster, 944Turbos/968 etc. However, to many, it simply doesn't fit their definition of what Porsche is.

If it keeps Porsche profitable, and independant (or ablue to control companies like VW) I am for it. With the caveat that I wish they would kick ass again in OVERALL race cars like P1, F1. Yes the countless GT class wins are nice, but the golden age of Piech is missed sorely by me.
