I cant help but feel Wiedeking will strecth his beliefs farther and farther until there is very little character left in the cars.
Dr. Wiedeking is a genius in my opinion. And being the CEO of a company like Porsche doesn't really make him the allmighty Porsche expert. He runs a company, he is responsible for almost 9000 people and he has to satisfy shareholders too. Not an easy job. So give him a break.
Dr. Wiedeking is the CEO but the decisions regarding models, technologies, etc. aren't made by himself alone. He has experts for these jobs, he apparently trusts them and this is why we shouldn't worry that the Panamera for example is becoming a next Maybach.
Let me picture this: as a CEO, you need to work in your car. You need a fax machine, a good phone, maybe a computer, etc. And of course you need a driver and a lot of space to be able to work effectively.
A Cayenne with a chauffeur? I doubt this works.
I think the Maybach is the right car for him, it is not a Rolls, not a "cheap" S-class and not a too sporty BMW 7series. The perfect CEO car.
Of course I would never buy a Maybach but I'm also not the kind of person who would have a chauffeur. Maybe one of the reasons why I'm not the CEO of a multi-billion company.
