This is how they will likely spin it.

But

"OH I really want that sports car but since that EV has the same badge I am going for that instead" probably isn't going to be said often. If it is a good vehicle then it will sell on it's merits but slapping a pony on the front isn't going to fool a single buyer.

I highly doubt many walk into a dealer looking fr a 911 and walk out with a Cayenne instead.
