Probably true

But having the Porsche name on your premium car is a good thing (especially when compared to the other wannabe name/brands).

Depending on whom you ask

Jeremy Clarkson once said something like "Nothing says a man failed in life quite like a 500 badge on the back of his Mercedes... Except for a Porsche Boxster".

Yes, but most don't know or care what he said, especially in this category of car buyers "for those of us who don't know much about Porsche, they are all the same." They would typically desire a Porsche versus a Caddy, Acura, Saab, Volvo, etc (wannabe brands).

I think Mild Jalapeño would be more fitting.

I disagree, as I've heard legions of people confuse the Cayenne and Cayman names.

Porsche is planning a new sporty model range


Stuttgart. During its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, laid the foundations for continuous and successful growth of the company. The Supervisory Board instructed the Board of Management to drive forward the development of a further model series up to series production. Under the working name "Cajun", this efficient and sporty model will further expand the world's most successful Porsche segment in the SUV sector. In addition to the new Cayenne, which has clearly consolidated its market position as the most successful sporty SUV in the premium segment, the "Cajun" will also have a very positive impact with its typical Porsche features such as light weight, ease of handling and agility. As an attractive entry model in the Porsche world, the "Cajun" will attract new and even younger customers to the premium brand along with the Boxster, the market leader in the segment of two-seater, mid-size sports cars.

Porsche is looking more and more like any other luxury brand...SUVs, a sedan, coupes, etc.

Exactly, and that's why the general public thinks of them all highly, they can't tell one from another.

Business 101 = Porsche, a model of successful premium branding.
