Maybe the best cars have been built.

If you take a look at last CES and whats going on in the automobile industry with self driving electric cars and thousands of electronic gizmos there are less and less cars that will get you emotionally. Also emission laws do influent what will be built now and in the future. If you like the sounds of engines and like to drive a car without a ton of assisment systems it will get harder and harder to find one.

Would i call my box 718. Definetively not. It has a number that says 986. And that's a good number, because maybe the 987 is nicer from an optical pont of view, it's also softer - too much refined. And the 981 is maybe much faster, but it's not a pure Roadster. It's full of electronics that helps any idiot to drive fast. And the 718 sounds like a ricer. Maybe it's fast / faster, but it was the N/A flat 6 that catched me. So i'm happy with my 986 box.

Regards, Markus
