As stated, allegedly Porsche is attempting to be more boutique like, i.e. Ferrari. Have you set foot in Ferrari dealership recently? I have, a few actually… one is instantly judged as soon as you enter the building. A personality examination follows.
Interesting comment about the NSX in the 90’s, I do remember going to an Acura dealer back in the day when my Dad purchased his 92 NSX and I remember one salesman being a bit of an Asshole and we walked out and went to another dealer.

I have not stepped foot in pretty much any car dealership except for service in years and my last time in a Ferrari dealership was back in December of 2020 and they were really nice then but with that said my friend who is a serial car buyer and is one of those Ferrari guys who gets a new one every 6 months is probably the snottiest assholes a person can meet and they still sell him a car on a regular basis but that is a whole story in itself as he has to give them the car back when they call him and he seems to follow the protocol.
