Now that would have been a good idea, call it the Fat-Catmobile or some such  ,
The most popular street Porsche was the 356 Speedster, no radio, no heater, just a great SPORTY car, just look at the used prices. They advertise the Panamera as having luxury, but have we really gotten so soft that we need or want clutteratura like heated power seats?
They have the Boxter, the Cayman, and the 911 type, all making money I believe, is that not enough? What's next, an econobox Kia type sedan selling for $10K and called a Porsche?
On the other hand, they sadly did not sell many '89 Speedsters, so maybe people are changing...
