> modern Porsches have a 15-20 year average lifespan Probably because the Macan and Cayenne are not 20 years old yet. There's a huge functional difference between something like a 911/Cayman and a Macan. While a 911 could be a daily driver for some people, practically speaking, they aren't. They are largely garage kept, driven infrequently during inclement weather, and are well taken care of because many people view them as "dream" cars. Even expensive engine out services are viable on 20+ year old 911s because someone is willing to pay $20k to have it fixed so they can have a "cheap" 911. A Macan is a nice car, but it's still a warmed over VW crossover. People drive them like regular cars. They will get in accidents during evening commutes. They will see snow, salt, pot holes, etc. They will be driven 12-15k miles a year, versus the 1-2k of a 911. And these things will still be pricey to fix. These will age like BMW X-series: kept for short lease terms by the original owner, for the duration of the extended warranty by the second, then be recycled at buy-here-pay-here lots until an expensive repair sidelines them permanently.
