The current ICE model has effectively been discontinued, it will remain on sale until 2026. Thereafter will be a wait of 2-3 years for a substitute ICE model to be introduced, possibly not even under the Macan moniker.

Oh really? I thought the current gen will remain on sale but receive another facelift in 2026-2027.

Yep.
Porsche AG CEO (also VAG CEO) Oliver Blume will allegedly be relinquished of his CEO position at Porsche AG in the coming weeks and will concentrate solely on his job as VAG CEO. It is reported that the Porsche and Piech families, as well as Oliver Blume himself, are looking for a suitable successor that they can ALL agree upon. It is not yet clear whether that successor will be an "inside" person-or someone recruited from outside VAG.
Porsche AG, throughout it's history, had episodes of being deeply submerged in manure. They've always somehow managed to pull out of it and recover stronger than ever before. So...there is reason for at least a bit of optimism.
He means the Cayenne not the Macan.
On the Macan you’re right.
But the Cayenne will get another facelift.

Like Mercedes, they aggressively put their bets into an EV future. On paper, their EV performance well. However they neglected that some consumers buy prestige/luxury for emotion. Unlike BMW Porsche didn’t hedge for the Macan and Cayenne.

The finance team is in panic mode after half year numbers are looking bad.
But its no surprise since they haven't launched any new cars, Cayenne and Panamera got a 3rd facelift, Taycan and Macan EV are overpriced, Macan ICE and 718 are too old and 992.2 got so expensive it doesn't make sense to buy one.
I hope they won't do more cost cutting to improve the profit because its not gonna work!
I wonder if Porsche will do a similar move like Audi and use a Chinese design platform, manufactured in China for some future models and unique to China design to cut costs.

It's so boring. It feels like it was 5 years ago.

Sounds about right. This design was frozen years ago, and these German companies don't have the flexibility to rapidly change things up, unlike the Chinese.

Your prognosis is the exact opposite of reality. Porsche sales being down was largely cause of China (down 28% vs up 12% in North America). And the reason for the poor sales in China is cause they don't have a price competitive EV to compete in China. Not because "they aggressively put their bets into an EV future". if anything, it is the opposite.

That’s why hedging against EVs with a compelling portfolio of ICE cars would have been helpful. The 5-Series is great example. Production can be dynamically shift towards whatever consumers want to buy: ICE, EV or hybrid. Less risk of having to churn out cars that consumers don’t want or reducing the number of shifts on the production line.

Enlighten me on how "a compelling portfolio of ICE cars" will help in a market that is ditching ICE cars at a record pace?

...of how to f#ck up ICEV and BEV at the same time. But if it is indeed so f#cking awesome, why did BMW also bite the dust in China in H1 25?

It's the best selling luxury car in the U.S and sales have been up 40% YoY, so something gels with customers.
The 5er also seems to be performing strongly in China with over 10k sales per month.
BMW is overall down in China, but sure as hell not because of the 5er, which is performing well worldwide.

Why not, they need to cut the price on the base models EVs, at the moment their battery and motors don't have any groundbreaking tech to justify the price.

As it is primarily in the aspect of chassis electro-mechanics where Porsche really excels, cooperation with Chinese partners in the areas of battery technology, e-motors and the like is certainly legitimate. German manufacturers, as well as policy makers, still have some homework to do here. And young, highly gifted tech-relevant German start-up researchers and engineers find themselves in a domestic environment that can be obstructive.
