Touche', but at least it isn't the only model that Porsche manages to turn a profit on. I read an article about GM that stated that GM either broke even, or in some cases even lost money on it's various sales on cars this summer. The cash cow truck and SUV market was keeping them afloat, until $3/gal gas. Similar issues at Ford, though not as dire.

Remember the initial GTO ads comparing them to a BMW? They compared the GTO performance to a 328 coupe if I remember right, of course a car with twice the displacement will have better numbers.
