.....I think that Chris Harris said it best in the video I had posted before. It's a great car, just not as good as the one you could buy last year.
I'm hoping that the driving enthusiasts at Porsche will see fit to bring out a flat six version for those who don't mind giving up a few tenths of second to get an exciting car again.[/quote]
Nothing like redundantly beating a dead horse over and over. 8-)
Suggesting the 718 isn't exciting is both self serving and wrong. Porsche knows quite well that weekend road cruisers are not true sports car 'enthusiasts', that the difference is more than 'a few tenths of a second', and that these folks won't pay the premium to buy a non GT, NA six. Get real.[/quote]
Correct, but while your 're showing off your Rolex and latest $1,000 phone it's hard to point to your new 4 cylinder car. I think Porsche has misjudged their market.
