Four-doors put up a good fight, but if you're sitting in a bar and the bartender says why the long face "Is that your sports car parked out front?", are you going to say, "Why yes, it is," if you drove there in a four-door, or are you going to assume they're referring to somebody else's vehicle? Likewise, when the board converged a few years back at Porsche HQ and somebody pitched the idea of building a new sports car, did the board members have visions of Panameras dancing in their heads, or something closer to the Boxter? None of this is to say four-doors are in any way inferior to two-doors, any more than saying an Oxford is inferior to a running shoe, just that people might mean running shoe when they say tennis shoe, but they never mean Oxford. Except maybe that guy with an M5, or an Impreza, or a '93 Maxima.
