I think Porsche is missing a great opportunity to produce a reasonably priced, well equipped ICE compact 4 door sports sedan for the $65K-$70K with mild hybrid, and AWD etc.
They can't compete with Tesla $40K-$50K range and they should never compromise on the fit and finish.
$80K is still a lot for a base RWD electric car with relatively low range. They're putting their eggs in the SUV basket in the Macan. It sells well because a lot of people just want AWD station wagon with a Porsche badge.
But, there are missing gaps between a Macan, Cayenne, Panamera and Taycan.
There is a larger market for people wanting near luxury high performance sedan in the $60K to $70K and putting a Porsche brand would seal the deal. (Myself included)
I can't justify having a $70K weekend toy and I don't want another SUV.
So, my choice would be to look at a Mercedes and a BMW and even an Audi.
Where's the equivalent C300, 330i, and A4-A5 in a Porsche?
