Porsche is becoming (has become) a major car manufacturer --- we all need to get used to that. It's no longer a hobby car builder! Let's face it not every Porsche will suit every Long Hood owner. Looks to me like the baby Cayenne would be an ideal product in the market given the $ for a gallon of gas. Remember how much flack Porsche took from many of us for building the Cayenne. So the latest sales records have the Cayenne as the only model line whose sales are up from last year. I'm all for the new model (regardless of what it looks like) and if it gets 40MPG, then I just might buy one (though I'd still keep the long hood and the Boxster).
