...just like the car rags who advertise them, the writers who are beholden to Porsche for the toys they test, and the sales people who have no choice but to talk up the product they're given to sell.
The 718 is lower, closer to the road, and the paint is soft. Even more chipping! European CAFE.
The flattening, as Roger pointed out, leaves me flat.
The engine is clearly inferior, even if it has more low end torque and a higher HP rating. There will be some turbo lag and MANual transmission drivers will hate it. More European CAFE!
All the potential issues of having a turbo less than a foot behind your head should make for lots of shop visits, and the sewing machine sounding exhaust will be sad.
The PORSCHE advertisement on the tail is right in your face. YUCK.
All in, it will cost more. Gotta maintain Porsche high margins and record profitability.
The steering wheel looks nice, as do the taillights, and the terrible PCM has finally been upgraded to PCM 4.0, which was long overdue.
....and they call the 718 progress. YUCK!
More like a PIG IN A POLK.
