That's true, but as long as the brand stretches in its direction then it's fine. The reason the Phaeton failed miserably because no one wants to pay tens of thousands of dollars for a VW. The other way to look at it is that no one wants to be seen in a $15k Benz either (for example... not that they have a car that cheap).

Porsche on the other hand are stretching the brand, which is good imo, but they are doing it the right way. Their cars are sporty and have heritage. As long as there's no MPV in that equation, i don't have a problem.
