Joe - I know you were only kidding - but imagine the poor bastards over at Porsche that had to build this thing.

These guys are used to designing sports cars, then one day, a manager walks in and says

'Guess what? We're going to build an SUV'.

Typical engineer response would be

'Why the hell would we want to build an SUV? We make sportscars!'

And the typical manager reponse:

'Because marketing says these things will sell like hotcakes'

Just like that, before you know it - you went from designing top of the line sportscars to station wagons on high heels. From an engineer's perspective, it's a sad, sad world sometimes.
