Personal prefs as well here. 100% agree with you on the black wheels for this particular car.

Geez these car got the Vivo Series shape bezels lollll How can't you not love those headlights. Satin black interiors... finally Porsche, thanks!

I can't see the car losing much weight from losing two cylinders
 
as the weight of the turbo, and necessary plumbing parts probably offsets any weight reduction unless they did something more radical to the chassis and structure over the 981.

This rename and downsize of engine displacement was a great opportunity to lower the cars weight but it seems that they did not do so, at least not enough to brag about it in the marketing mix.

They did a wonderful job with it. I hope the 4 cylinder is much more reliable than their past offerings. For some reason Lately Porsche can't seem to build a decent engine that lasts. Time will tell though.
