Sorry but you can't compete with Ferrari when you sell 50 K SUV's (Cayenne V6) and have a mini-boxster and mini-Cayenne slated for production starting at 45-50K.
Porsche is wayyyyyyyy downmarket from Ferrari. Porsche just happens to be almost as good as Ferrari in terms of performance, that is all.
It has nowhere near the prestige. WIthin 10 years, Porsche will become a common badge; THey WILL develop a baby Panamera (and it will be an amazing car), and like the 3-series, Porsche will grace many driveways in North AMerica so long as the money supply is loose.
Ferrari never will. They are all about tight control. Porsche is about expanding sales.
911 is expensive for the badge. WIth the exception of those with a lot of money, NO ONE will buy a Ferrari-priced Porsche ever. People will always buy a Ferrari, then maybe buy the Porsche equivalent if they can.
Great brand, but they're dreaming if they think they can take on the prestige and style of Ferrari. Performance, yes...looks, desirability, and prestige and sound, no.

No an expensive Benz does not compete with a similarly priced Ferrari. I can't afford either, so there are those who can afford it and to them there may be no difference.
When you step into a different league, brand means a lot. Remember the VW Phaeton or what ever it was called? Used Maybach's are dirt cheap, a Hyundai top of the line does not attract the Lexis buyer and so on. But our opinions are like whistling in the wind, no one will ever hear us.
