"There is absolutely no intention to go below what we have today," Detlev von Platen, global sales chief for Porsche, said last week in an interview here at the opening of the Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles.

Von Platen's comments rebuffed speculation published recently by some car magazines and websites that Porsche is busy developing a third crossover that would slot below the Macan in price and size. The Macan, a compact crossover, went on sale in 2014 and is now the brand's top-selling vehicle in Europe.

In rejecting smaller, less-expensive vehicles than today's baseline, Porsche leaders are thinking about what the brand represents, von Platen said.

"We are an exclusive sports car manufacturer," he said. "We have nothing to gain by creating a cheaper Porsche in the future. It's not about quantity, it's about quality in what we do."

"If you want to be consistent with the product strategy we have had, in the future our investment will go more in the development of new services around the car," von Platen said.

Porsche is inspecting 16,429 vehicles around world in the 911 Carrera, 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman model lines, of which 2,576 are in Germany. On the affected vehicles, it is possible that the screw connection on the fuel collection pipes may come loose. In the workshop, the fastening screws will be replaced with newly designed screws. This is purely a precautionary measure.
