Porsche charges what it does because they know people will pay it.

Isn't that what the law of the free market dictates? The price of anything is what people are willing to pay for it.

Takeaway for me is that Porsche's traditional, but now low volume model contributes to 30% of its margin if I am understanding correctly. Basically also means it probably costs them less than $5k more to make a 911 vs. a 718. Fascinating.

I agree with you on that. I usually wait until the second year at the very least. The only exception for me was I bought Year One of the 1er , when it originally came out.

You obviously thought you paid a fair price for what you got when you bought your X5. That's all that really matters. The manufacturer's profit margin shouldn't impact your perception of value.

Someone has to pay up for government regulations demanding expensive electric vehicle production.

It's Definitely a mini X5 ... It's a great one vehicle solution type item , better even than the F80 M3 perhaps in that regard.. but the tailgate has a lot higher liftover than I would like and there is a lot of hood. |

I agree the current X3 is a bit larger then I need for my use. It's unfortunate that the X1 isn't rear biased xDrive. It looks like a baby X3 to me.

Looks like Porsche is killing it big time with new 911
