I think I know what you mean with "status car" but probably better not to worry about it and buy the cars you want rather then what some people may or may not think.
I've not perceived any negativity towards the Porsche in the last year, only positive comments, similar to the Morgan.
Not sure if it would be the same had it been modern.
Perhaps if they have a negative attitude towards it they just keep quiet.
Having said that, I remember when Dogman Jack bought the Aero, he told me that an elderly woman told him off while he was at a petrol station saying "how dare you drive that car in these times".
You know it makes sense!
