But even if everything was bespoke, I'm not sure that that alone would command the price premium for Porsches.

All I'm saying is that when someone compares a GTR to a 4S, and then concludes the 4S is a better car, the general riposte is not, "No way! The 4S is like 30k more!"
That's how I feel. I don't know how it's ok for Porsche to be expensive and the other brands can't and I'm not talking about their 2 doors cars but about the Panamera and Cayenne where they cost more than their competitor.
