That said even a tricked out SUV like X3M does not replace a well sorted car when it comes to driving pleasure so I will still be buying cars in the future.
My father recently got a Macan S after driving sedans his entire life. The Boxster/Cayman were too difficult for him to get in and out of and the Panamera is too expensive. Macan is all that was left from Porsche at a reasonable price point. It drives well for a CUV but definitely not as fun as a car that sits lower.

I wish they'd make a mid-size sedan slotted below the Panamera.
IIRC, Porsche did plan a mid-size sedan to compete with the 5/E/A6. Since it has not come to fruition, maybe Porsche saw the decline of car sales and shelved it? It's a shame, I think such a product, priced from 60-90k, would have been a good seller for Porsche.
