phrasing

The idea that these won’t sell is a self fulfilling prophecy. Let’s not build them, they won’t sell. None get built. See, we didn’t sell any.

I think we’re good. 

Because it happens every time. Every time a cars is on sale outside of the US, they take the price including taxes, convert this to $ and complain it's expensive compared to a price without tax. And every time people correct this in the comments. The next time the cycle continues. I won't go as far as calling it…

Exactly. I had the flat 6 Cayman.  The sound was cool but 95% of the time driving the neighborhood you couldn't run it up to get the benefit.  Now with the 718 I zip around in sport mode with better torque curve, higher HP and no turbo lag. And I like the burps and gurgle the 718 has but the old Cayman didn't 

Let’s get something straight: There is NOTHING WRONG WITH A FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE IN A SPORTS CAR.

This idea that the 4t doesn't sound great is just one in a long line of silly Porsche purist speak. Short of sound (subjective) this 4 cylinder outperforms the flat 6 by any objective measure. The decision to go back to the 6 (but only for the top end models) is just Porsche taking proper advantage of those people…

So, this is CP because you’d rather pay twice as much to pick your favorite color?

Porsche isn’t repeatably faster because they allow the battery/motor to get hotter or allow people to abuse them more; it’s faster because they created a much more robust battery temperature control system that can better dissipate heat to keep the battery near optimal temps without cutting power. If anything, Porsche…

Yeah, because designing a strategy based around appealing to people who cry endlessly for smaller and cheaper is always a winning business.... /s

The 2020 Kristen Opinion is still largely incorrect.

“...the first Miata in 1989 started at $13,800, or around $29,283 in today’s money...”

That’s what I call the Alfas I see around town. “You can tell it’s a Quattro formaggio by the 4 leaf clover.” Nobody seems to get it.

El Nino. Spanish for “The Nino”

I’d lease one for $299 a month. As there’s NO WAY I would buy one. And this from a guy who LOVES the brand. I test drove the cambrio corsa back in 2001.  I’ve lusted after the Granturismo (MC Stradale version if I had my choice, but it’s not sold in the US, I’d have to accept the “just an MC” version) since it was…

Interesting fact: ‘Quattroporte’ means ‘Fourporte’ in Italian.

Why would it weight more than the GT4? The current GTS only weighs 3,032 lbs.

This song band is just amazing.

I have been saying that too. I was looking for a G37 replacement back in 2017. I drove an S6 a couple of times, many twisty roads, and came away highly disappointed.

I had the same experience in the base Macan, too. I think it has something to do with the steering (great) and the decreased weight in the nose because of the smaller engine. It just feels so much more agile than competitive crossovers—and the higher-trim Macan models as well.
