Autoweek Ride in the 981

[Overdrive]

blue2000s I agree with you 100%, words like that are not a good thing when it comes to a sports car, but Porsche seems to be leaning more toward making their cars appeal to a wider audience to increase their profits instead of making a better sports car that the brand and genre faithful would pay for.

If everything they did to the 991 and 981 validated their pricetags in the form of improved handling, road feel, and yes, maybe even some improved or at least equalized efficiency by dropping weight while upping power compared to the outgoing generation in both aspects, then I'd personally have no problem paying the inevitably higher price tag that would come with all of that.

If Porsche decides to revive the GT segment with something in the spirit of the 928, they better not jack that up. They've already got the V8 it'll need.
