Yes exactly, I wouldn't buy one but at nearly half the price of a 997 Turbo it sticks up a HUGE banner to Porsche that says "you've been resting on your laurels too long!".

I think Porsche need to stop spending all their time trying to buy VW and concentrate on making their cars better. And if they are going to continue to charge a huge premium then they need to add some exclusivity to the mix. You don't see the GT-R being compared to an F430 or a Gallardo do you?!
