Hey, easy on the Boxster owners - arguably the best car Porsche makes, easily so for the money...
No doubt that 2 seaters are a pure luxury and frivolous purchase, not easily made with the economy where it is...also, Porsche is no doubt losing sales in that segment to more reasonably priced competitors
There will always be demand at the high end of the market (viva la 911) but I predict the Panamera will lose steam quickly...

Other factors to toss around . . .
1. Are dealers getting smaller allocations now?
2. How do incentives compare between this year and last year?
3. Aren't exotic car sales down? Maybe former fcar buyers are picking up pcar's for peanuts.
4. Are these the first steps of VW making the Porsche brand more exclusive?
Went to a VW/Audi dealer today to get a Routan minivan. Completely sold out. Wanted to take a look at an S5 convertible too, also sold out. Salesman also said they were selling Q7's over msrp. VW seems to do a good job at controlling supply.

I happened to scan the inventories of several area dealers a few nights ago, and my impression was that there is a lot of inventory sitting on the lots right now.

203 Porsche dealers dropping fast ...
Certainly not enough sales to support the current dealer network.
