Hey Porsche read my lips....

86 the Cayman s.....make base price of mid engine Cayman $38400...make it lease out well ...but so many models is a Really bad idea. Specifically in the US market where buyers identify with exclusivity.

Not another VW.

Porsche will not be nearly as successful if it is turned into another VW.

Don't get me wrong. The Phaeton was a very nice and solid car. Just not a good idea to be in the VW lineup at 70k +. I would just go down the street and get an Audi.

I'm not holding my breath. All they've ever done lately is making things uglier (New Cayenne), invent new ugly things (Panamera) and milking and making eight hundred million new special editions of the 997 every other week, which is what they'll keep doing until the replacement 911 gets here. And then they'll do it to that one too.
