So sad... Ruf930, as the name says, it what they need to focus on. The Cayman was a good idea. The Cheyenne, bad idea. This thing, "worster" idea. Ferninand would turn in his grave... So sad

Like with the Cayenne, the Panamera is good for Porsche sport car buyers as it provides the big profits that will be used to fund R&D to improve the 911 and Boxter/Cayman and develop new supercars. 
Is it a bad thing that Porsche offers the highest performance vehicle in most car segments? I don't think so.

though i highly disagreed with the decision on the Cayenne, i think that this car can serve a purpose with new profits for porsche to continue to invest into the sports car R&D, otherwise 911s would need to be priced like the F-cars they compete with ...i'll give it a look
