Porsche’s decision to become more mainstream by offering sedans and SUVs turned the nearly kaput automaker into a global powerhouse, and whatever complaints people made at the time have long been washed away by the huge tide of cash flowing into the company. That it was able to do so without losing its edge is impressive, and can be attributed both to the Porscheness of those new models, and the enduring and wonderful existence of the 911. Curiously, this year the trend has reversed itself a bit.
