So far, Porsche is quite happy with the 718 sales - and expectations when the nicer weather rolls in we will see an uptick.



These are high end sports cars that appeal to a limited market. They aren't going to sell hundreds of thousands of these a year....

I think it's a good car, I think it has a lot of merit. But let's be honest without the badge it would fail. It's worth less to most consumers, whatever improvements have been made don't outweigh the loss of the 6. It may still do well but for the same price as the last car it WILL sell less.... all else held equal of course.
