I suspect BMW is in roughly the same situation. While leaning a bit less on the sport side of things than Porsche, they know how to make an SUV that doesn't suck. Having driven most of the small SUVs and wagons, the only thing that is comparable in performance (for under $40K) is Subie WRX, and in that battle the interior on the BMW wins handily.
There is no way I could live with just a 911 given my lifestyle and work - need the space of a hatch. So then it comes down to whether I have two vehicles (one utility, one fun), or find one that does it all. For now, the latter strategy is paying off.
