Yes, that is my thinking exactly. US prices are MUCH lower than what one would calculate by converting the price in Euros or UK Pounds...

Exactly...I just checked the German and US configurators and the new base 911 coupe in the US is $73,500 and in Germany is 83,000 Euros.

The Panamera is rumoured to be pretty heavy, I wouldn't expect a weight of under 1.8 tons for the V6 base car, the top model will very likely exceed 2 tons.
Again: just "rumours".

After the Cayenne, I don't expect anything "lightweight" from Porsche except their "real" sports cars.

Of course they also count in various Cayenne owners who may want to switch from "Off-Road" to "Street".

Yes, my hope is that with the Panamera sedan and coupe (ala 928) that they will be able to make the 991 (next 911) even sportier, smaller, and lighter than the 997, since they'll have the luxury market well represented already
