Porsche never really was a company that actually cared about sports car enthusiasts. No different than any other car company.
They are simply a company that sold cars. They made different cars depending on what the folks in the marketing department told them would make a profit. They started selling expensive sedans and SUVs to make a profit when sports car sales were down.
To look back fondly and believe that Porsche cared about average middle class enthusiasts being able to buy their cars is naïve.
What's sad is the path they have taken, along with pretty much every car brand, that you need the dealers computer to fix your car. Between the door handle linkage on my 997 constantly breaking and the need for the dealer to reset the oil change light I sold my 997 and wrote off any modern Porsche as the Porsche tax wasn't worth the return.
My 84 is the last Porsche I will own.
