Using this logic on the car company making the least profit per car would have you believing Chrysler cars are the best value as they barely make any profit?
In the early nineties a 911 could easily have an MSRP over $70,000 but due to U.S. economy excellent discounts, $10,000 discount on ours. Also early nineties 911 were more craft manufacturing techniques. Sure a 911GT_ takes lots of custom hands on work but don't think the front fenders were formed by hand like on a 964. Porsche was assembling some Mercedes E500's and using Mercedes gearboxes in the automatic 928 - world was different back then.
