These are people who are passionate about performance cars which BMW and Mercedes-Benz will happily sell them when Porsche will not.

The irony is Porsche is very concerned about the aging demographic of their buyers. They want them to be 30-somethings but few in their 30s would be able to afford a new Porsche unless it's a perhaps a Macan. They need an entry level car to bring young buyers in. If I was "allowed" to purchase a bare bones, minimal spec new 911 I could, I have the means. But I'm not interested in the current offerings or the absurd prices for the privilege of owning a manual trans.
