They still make a couple world-class cars, but their prices have made them unattainable. Even a Boxster S is like $75k minimum these days. The next generation M2 will likely be close to $70k as well.
Raw and attainable driver's cars have been on their way out. The CUV and electrification armageddon will stick a fork in these cars. The remaining driver's cars that speak to all of a driver's senses will be attainable only to the very wealthy.

Too many people waste their time reminiscing about the past (these forums especially) which is an unhealthy dysfunction. Porsche is now an SUV company that sells sports cars on the side. Does that really matter though as the 911 and 718 are still available and better than ever.
