What do high value sports cars really matter anymore? Porsche is now a truck company, Ford sells a truck ever minute and even maserati and alfa make suv' s. Porsche leads in profit margin, but I bet they would like to have the Ford truck brand in their portfolio. Just think how much they would charge for raptor floor mats.

The Audi R8 is the most elegeant looking, sophisticated sports gt car out there now. Don't expect a corvette clone anytime soon, but you can get a corvette v8 for way under a 4cyl boxster. You can also impale your self on the spear of Euro luxury and suffer first year resale loss on a 991 almost equal to the price of a new corvette. Take your medicine kids.

Basically you are buying time. I'd never buy a corvette, you can't get your time back spent owning one. Porsches to me are more enjoyable, even if the cost is more.
