The RS4 is an Audi, correct? An Audi isn't a Porsche, just as a GTi isn't a Porsche. I don't think either car hurts Porsche sales.
Bentley and Veyron - boutique stuff like Maybach. I don't see either factoring in too highly in VW vs. Porsche.

Not necessarily. Porsche was fine w/o an SUV and a four-door. Market share dictated that decision. Extending the performance range to the SUV and four-door was a given as they were to wear the Porsche badge.

Yeah, and to see a modern-day type 356 for $35K is a pipe dream. Try $70K, and one might be in the ballpark.
