Re: Road and Track review of the 718
Interesting contrast with other reviews. This reviewer (the self-described 'big-guy' whose sunglasses are apparently protecting his glistening locks from premature... bleaching) is all about torque and numbers. If that's what is most important, then the 718 is the ticket (vs, for instance, the 981)
The 'Big Guy' asked "Can you get used to that sound?". And later, "it takes some getting used to." There are lots of things we can get 'used to'. But is that the measuring stick we want to use when we buy our dream car?

"How come every other article I've read on the new Boxster S laments the loss of the flat-6, one going so far as to say, "hold on to your previous Boxster"? "
Has anyone here read/seen that review?
