After reading 8 pages, I'd add two points:

1. Even Porsche delineates within range. A base cayman is a very capable car and something many aspire to own. An S (or GTS) is even better. But all are far from a GT4.

Porsche GT4 owners aren't threatened by base Cayman owners diluting the car's brand equity.

I'd actually argue the opposite - Porsche guys realize the base cars supplement the R&D investment yielding the more extreme variants.

2. I read a lot about model topping cars. Never did the M340 occur to me as anything other than a down-the-value/capability/cost option from an M3. Same thing with the M5 vs the M550.
