My hope is that Mc views mobile and car in the same way that Porsche viewed SUVs a few years ago--a logical extension that can actually strengthen the purist products.

I didn't suggest Mc was moving away from the high-end. What I said was if Mc was putting a corporate emphasis into Mobile and Car Audio, that might not be algned well with where ARC wanted to be, with, as you say, what R&D dollars might available for new product design and development for high-end products by ARC.
