There are three forms to an auto business model IMO:

1) All normal people cars like VW. Their products are bankrolled by their generic offerings. Nobody has any contention with companies like Toyota because they build people-pleasers.

2) Half and half. Porsche under last decade's management team is bank-rolling the 911 / Cayman / Boxster with the Cayenne and Panamera. They are going dangerously soft despite the RS offerings because, let's be honest, it's not their most sold dish and they have no incentive to keep making non-profitable products. Ferrari with the FF??? Uhhh.. No thanks

3) Specialized, hard-core companies. Pagani, McLaren, Noble, and stuff like Zenvo. Low sales volumes and customers' voices are heard. These types of companies are very tricky to manage. Make or bust IMO.

The new 991 is... Quite chubster in terms of styling. The weight might have gone down but most reviews have said it's lost its edge. I think we are all worried about that.
