"However, the stock of new vehicles can still be enquired about at dealers and, according to Tagesschau, the models will also continue to be produced for export markets"

I read it in Google News (maybe that was the problem lol).... but now the article has disappeared. I know they're taking the Boxster and Cayman to full EV, but the article says it's discontinued.

That article is still up and is valid, as I've read about how the new cyber security law was applying to the Macan model, which will be similarly affected. But, it doesn't impact export markets such as the USA, so we will still get to purchase ICE versions even beyond the cut-over to EV (for a while).

No US impact.

Bread and butter? Ummm. The Boxster and Cayman have been small side dishes for decades. For decades, the bread has been the Macan and butter the Cayenne.
