Like BMW & Mercedes, Porsche saw an opportunity to cash in on the inexplicable desire of many Americans to use a truck as their conveyance of choice. If there was no market for high-performance trucks, Porsche wouldn't be making them, nor would anyone else. The market was simply too big to ignore and, as stated in a previous post, introducing the Cayenne (as much as it makes me cringe) probably helped to keep the company afloat.
As for the Panamera, it seems to be a logical extension of the product line....much more so than the Cayenne. Many other luxury/sport makers also have both two and four seaters.
