Porsche make good cars for driving in the categories they are represented. But BMW and probably Mercedes are also very competent on the road and very well made

So, if you take out the long lost mystique factor from Porsche you are left with cars of generally dubious styling costing at least 50% more than other excellent German brands. Even the new 911 is a non-event.

VW has financially saved Porsche but at the same time it has damaged the prestige and status of the marque. Some odd exceptions like the GT3 cars and the GT2 do nothing to regain the lost prestige.
