quit your sniveling , it worked out for Porsche, and the entire industry, even Ferrari ,has similar plans. It will just make my car more historically interesting, much like the owner.
if the market for a non status expensive specialized two seater car, with more performance than any conceivable need evaporates, nothing can stop people from not buying them.
Toyota did a marketing study and found the higher seating position appeals to the primitive sections of the brain, triggering feelings of security, power, and control.
besides , with cars becoming so generally competent , paying extra for extreme unused performance, might not be a home run, when the car in the next lane is traveling just the same as you , with perhaps more general utility , is just the way life is today.
Companies either grow or die, and not building for the market might keep the car writers who still flog for manual transmissions happy , but it won't pay the bills.
another practical consideration is functioning in heavy traffic when every other car is taller than yours, and blocks your sight lines down the road. This is a very noticeable problem when parked at someplace like a shopping mall. With an SUV on both sides, you have no choice but to back out blind. So it becomes a choice of either fight them or join them.
Besides body styles no longer matter today, in a world where Jeep is making drag cars. I had some idget in a Porsche SUV try to get me to street race him down by the marina, when I was just cruising along , top down in the old C5, minding my own business. I guess he wanted to get his $185,000's , or whatever they cost, worth. I am glad I am not insecure like that, where I feel the need to try to augment my self esteem with a mere machine .
