Doesn't look bad, but the whole idea makes me love my CGTS even more.

It might grow on my but it is a bit too edgy for a production car from Porsche. Regardless, the Spyder is still the best-looking 718.

+1. There is something about the lines of the current 718 that just looks... timeless? IMO, the current 718 is the Goldilocks design - just right.

I guess Porsche stopped researching synthetic fuels.... EV's will go down as the worst strategic decision in human history. They are simply impractical at large scale and will further cripple energy resources. Estimates say US grid output would need to triple to support large scale EV adoption. Popcorn ready.

Yeah, was more tongue in cheek than anything. I just don't understand the EV push, it's plain moronic for a myriad of reasons. Appears only Toyota has enough brain power to not follow the simple-minded sheep....
