It sounds like you may be thinking that Porsche = 911, or maybe 911 + 718. But the 911 and 718 make up less than 25% of Porsche's sales. The 911 makes up less than 15%.
When it comes to us M drivers, the 911 is the focus. It's the "logical" next step that nearly every M driver cites. So, yes, in this case we are focusing on the 911 when we're talking Porsche sports cars, not SUV's.
