Correct. The term "marginal" in this context is the profit on the last unit. I should have written "average marginal profit" which would be the same as average profit per car. It is better in this context to use average profit-per-car and not (just) marginal profit. If the former is less than zero you're probably loosing money. But, if the latter is above zero then you may be able to make it up with more volume (next year) even if the former is negative.

Oh for sure but this argument is decades long and Porsche's justification for SUV's and cross overs as being the saviors of their company is shaky when they pretty much pulled themselves up with the Boxster and 996 on their own. Regardless , the argument should be completely meaningless now under the VW umbrella where there are plenty of crossovers , SUV's and sedans from VW and Audi to fill the voids for the masses. The acquisition of Porsche should have allowed them to produce sports cars exclusively. Allowing this silly competition between brands under the same umbrella has always been something I've found incredibly conflicting.

I'd rather them make a new Cayman priced 912 than a hybrid.

Yes. Definitely looks like fluid type connections, not electrical. Could be water ballast/weight distribution testing. Similar to what they do in aircraft.
