You know, kind of like having your $85k Corvette worked on by the same kid who changes the oil in the Chevy Aveo in the next stall? Just wondering.

It wouldn't make marketing sense to have a $25k product and then a ~$25k jump to get to the next level vehicle (Cayenne or Boxter). If Porsche wanted to have a lower priced offering, they may start at $39k, IMO.

So, would a $39k vehicle bother me? If it is a re-badged Volkswagen-- yes. If it is a unique Porsche engineered niche vehicle -- no.

Given recent price increases, it might soon be the only new one I could afford!

No it would not.

Interesting question. The Macan was just announced and hinted that it will be priced in the $40ks, which makes no sense when a perfectly decent V6 Cayenne can be purchased under $50k.
