The unprecedented success of the Cayenne, WW's failure to take over VW, and the increasing pressures of government regulation have determined the direction of Porsche, not the wishes of a small group of enthusiasts.  If the only real alliterative to Porsche sports cars is Ferrari rather than BMW or Mercedes, then Porsche has relatively little to be concerned about.  Only the Turbo S begins to overlap w/ Ferrari and I will hazard a guess that most 911 buyers are not going to step that far up in price to a California T let alone an F12.
