I'm sure that is very true, until they cash their paychecks or retirement checks and then whatever embarrassment they had from being associated with such inferior vehicles is forgotten as the check is deposited into their bank accounts. Has Porsche sold out? To the purist and the closed minded, yes. However, if it were not for these luxury items Porsche would not be in business today, as much as I hate to say it, the sales of the 911, 928, and 944 were not capable of sustaining Porsche, and governmental regulations eventually killed the beloved air-cooled engine too. Times change. Companies change or go out of business. Those are the grim facts of life.
