@Robert M posted:.Say what you want about pecans and cajuns but my wife loves her twin-turbo all wheel drive Macan. It is extremely comfortable and it drives/handles better than any other small SUV she has had and she has had several of them. It is also a lot nicer looking than her Ford Edge, Lexus RX300, and her Explorer.
So, there it is.
Porshee aren't "betraying their heritage". They're a car company and they're building cars their customers have told them they want. That's what car companies do or they go out of business. If they sell more by calling them 'sport' (or by calling some electric cars 'Turbo'), they will keep doing that.
For now, they're still building sports cars, too, because enough customers have told them they still want those - like the dudes Danny mixes it up with through the apexes.
As suggested earlier, the cachet of the sports cars may help them sell SUV's (or charge more for the SUV's), but they still make those sports cars because there's a market for them. And that market must be demanding Doppelkupplung gearboxes, leather finished nosegay holders, and sports-chrono packages, or those items wouldn't be on the option sheet. (The leather nosegay holders are only packaged with certain premium paint choices, so you may not have been aware of them.)
Sadly for some of us, the world and its cars look very different than they did in 1958. Neither will ever look that way again.
That's just the way it is.
