SUV sales funded Porsche's development of the Cayman. 997 and Cayman sales will fund development of the Panamera during the next couple of years. With a sedan in the lineup, and perhaps a hybrid SUV, Porsche will be in even better shape in 2008.
The most important thing is Porsche will no longer live or die based on a single market segment. They will have a lineup that appeals to a much broader audience, all of whom will pay a premium to drive a Porsche.

Being and Audi guy myself, this is the SUV that I'm waiting for. I think it looks terrific in the photos, but I'll reserve my final judgement when I see it in person. I hope the Q7 is reliable, but we'll see.
