Erm... didn't Porsche make some decree in like 2007 and then again in 2013 that they were getting out of the MT game entirely? Nice of them to realize that despite selling a crap load of SUVs, that they're stll a niche' automaker that relies on people whom actually like more control (not less) of their cars.
