It's tragically hilarious to hear Wiedeking use the justification of avoiding "brand dilution" when fielding questions about the directions people say the company SHOULD be taking. IMHO, like making a lightweight, relatively inexpensive sports car a la the Elise/Exige; they could own Lotus' mostly-Brit, Toyota-powered products if they put their minds to it. Instead, they conjure up an abortion like the Panamera, and put the Porsche name on it.
More and more, the company is becoming less special and adopting practices and making products like everyone else. Which means the products will be regarded as less special as time goes by, and will assume the same depreciation curves as everyone else.
