I don't understand the rationale for wanting to increase annual sales to this extent. When Porsche was independent, it needed the increased revenue from non-traditional vehicles like the Cayenne in order to survive but now that it's part of the VW group, it doesn't need to.

This is the perfect time to end production of it's non sports-car models and focus on the cars that made Porsche great to begin with. IMHO, a decrease in sales would benefit the brand by restoring resale values and prestige to the brand which in the long run would secure Porsche's future.

Why every car maker needs to be everything to everyone is beyond me! Especially since VW has TONS of bread-and-butter models already. Why buy a revered brand name and then dilute it with badge-engineered vehicles that fall outside of its main focus?

I hate to see the Porsche brand dumbed down to WalMart status...
