There’s a good chance I’m going to need an AWD vehicle in the future, for a colder climate.  And I really want manual.  Please Mazda, pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!

I’d gladly pay 8% more to not get an ugly Civic.

If they can do it without increasing the weight of the vehicle, then go for it.  Otherwise you’re stuck with an overweight tubby NSX that nobody buys.

That’s the opposite of the BRZ’s ethos as a lightweight pure sports car.  

Diving further into it, however, I definitely feel like after 2012 (in general) a lot of these cars got way, way too complicated.  The 987 is bad enough, but I feel like too much stuff on the 981 would be above my level.  718, I don’t even want to think about it.

Oh, without a doubt! However that commenter did say: “Owning a late-model German car past the warranty period is best suited for masochists” And past warranty doesn’t exclusively mean 6 figures.

I bought an off warranty Cayman S with 56,000 miles.  50,000 miles later (5 years later) I’m doing great.  Nothing unusual here.

The interior quality isn’t that bad. The design isn’t fancy, but most of the materials are high quality and solid feeling. The exception being the dashboard buttons (paint chips off easily), the shifter feels cheap, the steering wheel center cap looks cheap, the steering wheel stalks feel cheap, and the interior door…

Dammit, I kept scrolling, looking for some sweet F40 photos.

I want to know when the AWD model is available with the 6 speed manual.  Because the answer to that determines if I’d buy it.  The rest is window dressing.

Absolutely zero concern on my Cayman.

More than you can imagine.  But feel free to keep lapping up the Koolaid.

Only if people think that way.  Otherwise, no they really do not.

Yeah, this stood out to be as quite confusing.

Yeah...Boxsters may have that problem, but Caymans do not.

FYI the 718 is really a 981.2 model, not a 982 since it’s a revision.  By sticking the 718 number onto the names they really made it confusing as hell.

There will be a successor.  The new platform underpining the 992 (shame about that car’s looks) will also underpin the next generation Boxster/Cayman (982).  I suppose they could change their minds, but they (Porsche) have stated this quite a few times.

Excitement? That car news was a blip on the radar and I don’t know a single person that’s mentioned it since deep into last year.

“There’s been plenty of talk about the Taycan being expanded into a lineup of electric cars, including the sedan, some sort of Sport Turismo, and a coupe, that way Porsche can leave the Panamera, Macan, and 911 alone, at least for now.”

Honestly I’m surprised the percentage isn’t higher.
