It's hard for me to part with the brand after two decades but every day draws me further into the P-car and further away from the BMW brand.

This is an interesting perspective considering the fact that SUV's are keeping EVERYBODY afloat, including Porsche. You make it seem like it's only BMW. Do you remember how the Porsche crowd reacted when it was announced than an SUV was coming?!?Porsche can't sustain themselves solely on the 911 any more than BMW can sustain themselves solely on sporty cars. The world is not full of enthusiasts! Short memories indeed.
