Just for the record, I'm NOT a fan of a 4cyl turbo 718 Boxster or Cayman. When the time comes to retire my pair, I'll be looking for good used N/A 6cyls.

No those guys are just old and cranky. We are hip and young.

As far as the turbo four... No doubt the car will be quicker. And have better engine longevity to boot. But as far the subjective... I think I know what old Walter Rohrl was complaining about when he first drove the 718 and thought Porsche were doing a hidden camera prank. I think he asked the engineers why it sounded like a Jetta and if that was on purpose.
