What do you want Porsche AG to do?

With all the money they're earning?

According to a thread in General Gassing Porsche is making around €22k profit per car sold. Not necessarily discussing the relative merits of them making all that money (€2.1b) but now they've got it what would you, as Porsche owners, want them to do with it?

Add an Elise type car to the line-up?
Add a hot hatch(!) S3, 135i rival?
Add a four door M5/E55/Q-porte/Rapide rival?
Add a mini-Cayenne X3-type rival?
Make a 928 replacement (proper tourer)?
Make a "proper" Cayman (full engine range and lsd)?
Make a ltd run Veyron "beater"?
Buy Jaguar?
Go racing?
Reduce the price of their cars and make the same profit by making more?
Keep bailing out VW?
Buy Ruf (or another) and keep it in-house a la AMG, M, Quattro etc.?

Any other thoughts?

It seems perhaps ridiculous to suggest it given Porsche's roots as a small, family-owned sports car maker, but with a saloon on the horizon, a fairly hefty 4x4 already in the line-up, a smaller 4x4 probably on the cards at some stage and overall production numbers set for 100,000

They're already making 100,000 cars (2005 figures), 40% of which are Cayennes. Unless they go down a proper sports car route they run the risk of becoming a saloon/SUV/hatchback manufacturer who makes the odd sports car.

For reference Jaguar, up upmarket but fairly mainstream manufacturer, makes around 80,000 cars making Porkers more common than Jags.

I would like to have seen Porsche buy up Smart and run it as a separate business.
