The problem is, unless you are a manufacturer at Porsche's caliber, you really don't have the option to do things like this.
Toyota-Subaru did this with the FRS/BRZ twins. Even within the niche enthusiast market, only a fraction of people bought them new -- the rest are cheapa$$es that will only buy them after 5-6 years when depreciation makes them dirt cheap. Same deal with the Miata. That is probably as back-to-basics as a car can get. But the car just doesn't sell well enough at the dealership.
Yeah, I feel like a cynical old geezer today...
