Why does everyone keep mentioning that this is a “cross plane” v8 as though that mattered?

I read a thing yesterday on Reddit where someone was describing their monthly student loan payments and talking about how long they’d have to make them before the government wipes out the loan or something.

So what is it then? A 370Z competitor?

I don’t believe you.  All touring bikes look like Honda Goldwings.  :)

Styling?

Lol. Using the clutch to slow the car isn’t engine braking. That’s just bad driving.

Porsche isn’t holding back the 718 to protect the 911. They’re doing it to keep the price down so it can be the entry level car.

This is nonsense. As I point out every time people suggest that the 911 is huge and that the 718 is the proper sports car platform:

It’s awful!! I mean... looking at the outside, it looks to be in reasonably good shape. I can mentally remove that hideous 90's monstrosity of a front bumper and go back to something respectable.

I’m sure I’ll think it’s great when I see it in person but for now there’s some nit-picky things that I don’t much care for.

That’s just not true. In most conditions locking up the wheels won’t make you stop faster but in SOME conditions, like in very loose material like deep snow or deep gravel where they’ll dig in and build a pile of material in front of them it will be better.

If you’re planning on buying a new Impala (though let’s be honest... you’re not) then I suggest you snap one up fast!

I’m gonna be honest. I had no idea that they did them differently. I don’t really have an idea in my head on what a boxer engine intake manifold normally looks like and, even if I did, I’ll never see what the one in my 911 looks like to compare it.

How old are you? I remember back in the 80's when people wore Jordashe and Vuarnet stuff and my parents had me in hand-me downs and whatever K-Mart sold.

They didn’t. They wanted to stay. The problem was that nobody wanted their cars.

Most people will never be “successful” in any definition that means people outside your immediate circle will ever talk about you.

Do you think they’d haggle over the price?

Wait... what??

Neat.  It looks exactly like everyone knew it would.  :)

Can you tell from the pictures that it’s actually the trans top version? Is it possible that they just dicked that up and copied it from somewhere?
