Would seem to be the easiest solution too! Cut out the middle man(dealer) where flipping is concerned - Porsche make more money and they have more happy customers....

Exactly.
Once upon a time: they launched a car, if you wanted one you ordered it, they built it, you got it. Now we have a situation where people in country A can just buy one from a dealer but people in country B cannot because they have "allocated" a number of cars to country B that they know to be inadequate to meet the demand. Every car comes off of the same line and is built to order : there is no reason whatsoever that they cannot simply do first come, first served globally on these cars to the maximum production capacity of the hardest to source component. If they did that then the profiteering would die pretty much straight away.
But they don't do it, nor ever I feel will they. :nooo:
