Rick,
If this statement were only true:
"What I'm saying is so what if Porsche has a mini van or wants to make one.They open themselves up to a new market. It only boost's sales and gives them more money for R&D on the really cool stuff."
Of course this is only my opinion, but Porsche has produced a pathetically small amount of cool R&D. The Cayman and the truck are the only results that I've seen lately. In my mind, cool R&D would be vehicles that could compete with the Audi R8 at LeMans, the strategy that the company made its' bones on in the 70's and 80's. Only just now, after many years of reaping profits with the new line of products does Porsche find itself in racing, and only at the level below the R8. Perhaps the LMP2 class is the way of the future, but the marque let many years pass by sitting in the GT classes shoveling the racing R&D money into the company coffers.
