Probably a good move with good timing. In good economic times (like the late 90' to now), niche auto makers and high end auto makers generally do well. However, when an economy turns south, they don't do as well.

Putting all political views aside and strictly focusing on the business cycle, it's good for Porsche to be purchasing a stake in a more "entry level" automaker for when times may not be as good.
