Porsche IPO - good for the consumer?

I'm sure you have all read that Porsche is going public.

With having to now line the pockets of shareholders do you think Porsche will be forced to now increase production so everyone who wants a Porsche will get one? If I had stock in a company, I would want that company doing everything it could to bring in more revenue and there is only so much mark up you keep asking for on limited production.

I don't know enough about what happens behind the scenes at Porsche but I always felt they were leaving 100s of millions of dollars on the table by not selling everyone a GT3 who were willing to pay MSRP. I hear stories of people waiting a full model generation before getting an allocation or having to take one off the heavily inflated secondary market. Don't get me started on 2 year old 911 S going for 200K! IMO, all of their pricing has had to move upwards to stem off some of the demand, but by having fewer cars in the market they reduce service revenue, used car inventory to resell, etc.

What are your thoughts?
