Still the Cayenne sells well in some markets, to my great amazement. The market for cars is mainly image and it is certainly true that Porsche have found bigger markets by making softer more luxurious models than the pure sports cars of yore. I suppose that most of the people who can afford one want the sporty image not the sporty qualities, otherwise not a single Cayenne woiuld have been sold (IMHO of course!) One can't knock the profitability, they have saved huge chunks by cutting out all the non visible expensive engineering they used to have making their current models the most profitable cars sold.
