If I wanted a great touring car with some room, I'd look at one. Saw them @ Monterey back this Summer and liked it in person. Saw one today by the beach for the first time. Certainly is something fresh to look at.

There's no "message" to Porsche; they are in business to turn a profit and need to find new ways to grow sales. Let's face it, there's not a lot in common between our cars and a new 997 other than basic layout, so the term purebred needs to be defined.
