we all enjoy talking about the new contemporary Porsche company, about mid 90s onwards. The truth, which most of us here wont really internalize, is that the grand mythologizing of Porsche to all of us(908, 917, 956), is all past. And the consistent winners and giant killer of the past decade or two, has been : Ferrari in F1! and Subaru World Rally Champions WRX. For non-partisans,(not us), Porsche has not been winning much of anything. And 996, 997, 991, has not inspired the wider public, and are not motoring icons in their own right.
the boxster and cayman, underspec'd, are held back by sales and profit considerations for the 911. instead of the weekend racer of the 50s, 60s, 70s are now replaced by products for social standing or prestige. The majority of Cayenne buyers in China? Bla bla bla
