Perhaps, this is because it is not the type of car bought by enthusiasts who post on forums, but by people who want a good car and can afford one. I see no problem in that.

For a manufacturer i suppose it is better if people buy the cars instead of talking about them endlessly on the internet.

Well, yes, it is generally better for the manufacturer to have people buying them rather than just talking about them, but, in the context of whether, "Porsche is loosing its mojo," or not subthread, it's still an interesting data point. It may well be, and probably is, as you point out, that it's simply being bought by people that want a good car and can afford one, but doesn't that tend to support the argument that the brand identity is shifting?
