Looks like Porsche made the right decision.

The 718-4 just not selling, although it could outperform the 981. Market forces dictate otherwise I quess.

I still love the look of a 987 and 981 over the 911 especially from the rear.

LOVE my 987.2 S with PDK/Sport Chrono/Turbo II wheels and much more (2nd Cayman)......last of the conventional steering 987's and 320hp in less than 3k lbs. is ok w/me - tho I would like to boost the 3.4 up to 350hp with some tweaks in the future - after my 914 is on the road & close to complete.

Not surprised the 4's aren't selling - in spite of Porsche's $50 million dollar marketing effort to existing Cayman/Boxster owners, and the fact they are a bit faster. I'll keep my '11 (now w/80k mis. - I drive it...) and only thing I'd upgrade to is a 2015 GTS - but those darn things are still pulling top dollar - almost new prices - and I'm not going there.
