Now there gonna put 18 in every one of there model names, I swear. 818 911, 618 Panamera, 518 Cayenne, 418 Macan, 318 something....They should have just not done it, Boxster S was just fine, Now its 718 Boxster S....Fkn stupid, And these new Porsches are getting expensive as all hell, I wont be surprised if the next generation of S is as expensive as the current generation 911 S.

How conveniently is the much cheaper boxster a bit slower. I reckon the Cayman S will be faster in real life, especially on track
