Porsche went all in with their SUVs ( at the time I found that not just a despicable move but surely a death sentence to the brand's heritage and reputation, which would erode their sports cars lines appeal ) Man, was I wrong.. even though I still am not warmed up to the idea of Porsche soccer-mom cars, or even the sedans ( Panameras ), not only are all those models wildly successful, but it did not diminish Porsche's sports cars brand, customers loyalty, and the sports models sales in the least bit...they're all doing extremely well. Granted, as high end performance of a car manufacturer it may be, Porsche was and remains a mass market brand, unlike Maserati who is perceived to be a much more exclusive " exotic " ( for lack of better terminology ) , just a step below Ferrari, so not sure what the impact of the SUVs, and the blending in with Alfa will be .
Maybe they should rename the the Alfieri to....Alfalfa ?! :wink2:
