First Porsche makes an SUV, now a V6, next a V8 in the 911 model range...is Porsche shooting themselves in the foot by trying to reach out to more potential customers?

The 928 only came with a V8. It was a nice car but people used to call it "the German Corvette." Kind of heavy and way too many of em were sold with an automatic transmission but otherwise they're cool. And the styling is definitely unique.

I think it is a way to get more people to buy it since it will be more affordable to more people but it will be a beast since its so heavy.

Well, that's what happens when Volkswagen and Porsche get in bed together..... a pure bred stud suckered in to getting it on with a plain-Jane whore.
Yeah just call the base Cayenne the 914-2.0 of the new millenium. The 914-6 was a great car but its reputation was tarnished by the far crappier (and far more popular) 914-2.0.
I mean not that the Cayenne is great or something but at least with the V8-only options it at least lived up to the Porsche pedigree somewhat.
