GT cars are practical and comfortable for either the daily commute or cross-country road trips, but have enough performance and handling for most drivers on the street. I'll always like the 928, it was the flagship Porsche when I was a kid in the 80s, I even had a Hot Wheels toy, so for me that was just as much Porsche as the 911, maybe even more because it was "the new."

The mistake then was probably throwing out the history, without factoring in the Porsche purists. Now in the era of the mid engine Boxter/Cayman, the Panamara, and VW based Cayenne and Macan for the soccer mom set, the brand may have been watered down in some respects, but the 911 is better than ever, and Porsche is the most profitable car maker, so keep doing the 911 thing, and keep doing the sedan and SUV thing too if it keeps the profits up, then reinvest some of those profits into a GT car. Ferrari manages nicely with front engine GT cars and mid engine sports/supercars, and the Ferrari purists don't seem to be complaining. After all, Enzo thought all his cars should be front engine.
