Porsche almost listen to their clients. The gt3 came back in manual, but not available for sale initially and then they limited production to a tiny amount compared to auto. They had the 911r which everyone loved but they only made a small amount. Then they did the gt3 touring but again limited numbers. The cayman was never really given a proper engine either (the gt4 only had the carrera s engine and the gearing was all wrong).
I have a Porsche and I'm routinely upset that they don't listen to customers. They make amazing cars and then not let us actually buy them. Test this out: call any Porsche dealer and ask to order a gt3 and see what they say.... they'll just tell you that you aren't allowed unless you are chosen to be allowed to buy one.
