It was just too 80's and just too expensive.

It was never meant for mass production, in fact Porsche didn't make any money on the sales of the car. It was over the the top but that was the intention. It was basically a limited run test bed for things to come. May not be your cup of tea but look up the current prices...they sure have escalated. As far as 914's are concerned, even they are rising in prices. Truth be told I could care less of a 914 years ago, as of late I can see myself owning one....especially with the flared fenders. Would be a cool car to have.
