There are a lot of 4-door cars out there with sexier lines....the new 545, XJR, and more. I think they'd have a hard time penetrating the market and stealing significant market share at the 60k - 80k level.

just to add to the discussion here....
I read the magazine article....and confirmed something regarding this at Porsche AG (thru some connections)... 2 weeks ago while I was in Stuttgart:
one, the car was already approved in the 90's .....but the German Banks denied the funding at the time.
two, all you 996 owners are basically driving cars that were styled after the 4 door porsche. (this is true...to save development costs)
three, the 4 door replacement (200?) is a go.
