986's a rare breed?

Oh, and I'm still waiting for a 718 sighting :dance:

Interesting about the 718. I'm in Melbourne which is the second largest city in Australia, and I've not seen a single 718 on the roads yet. Interestingly 3 of the 4 launch day cars that were in the main dealer last year are still for sale in their used listings.
I guess the other one must have gone somewhere.
As a flat 6 N/A fan, I'm hoping the 718 is a sales failure so that Porsche will think again.

I also wonder why they didn't try a supercharger with a smaller flat 6, but that's another story.
