Do You Still Consider Porsche To Be A Sportscar Automaker?

Yes. They do make some wonderful and beautiful sports cars. That makes them a "Sportscar Automaker."

They also make some wonderful SUVs, gorgeous inside and out, and sporting. This does mean they have ceased to be a "Sportscar Automaker."

Yes, but I would have preferred Porsche to split off the SUV product into its own division to create more space between the sports car division and the truck division.
