Gee, if I remember correctly, Porsche used to make tractors and airplanes...If anything, the advent of the cayenne, etc has allowed Porsche the financial flexibility to re-enter racing in a major way (rs spyder, anyone?). If you have driven a Cayenne, you might understand...for those of us who require one for towing and cargo capacity, it beats the heck out of a crappy chevy. Reliable, safe and a great deal of fun to drive. What I find most interesting about the majority of those griping about Porsche's brand expansion, is that most own cars that are more than a few years old...in other words, you have not bought a new porsche vehicle in years, so if it were left up to enthusiasts like yourselves, Porsche would have been out of business!
