So according to you the Porsche business model is the normal one. Whereas in reality they're the exception.

Yeah, I am with you. Anything over $34K or so would be too much. With a $5K markup over the Limited, it would be right at $34K with destination.
That said, Subaru and Toyota may just skip supercharger/turbo and keep it around $31K and you get things like better tires, air intake, better exhaust, better suspension (sway bars), tuned ECU, etc. Maybe a 20-30hp increase at most. But still "faster".
