914 and 718 -6, 718 GT4 gets a six Options

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.

Wow, this does seem an odd move and not sure what it means for the four variant. Does not seem likely that Porsche can just walk away from such a large commitment and expenditure and abandon the four.

I have been eyeing the first gen GT4. Pampered examples are available with very low mileage at less than new prices. Seems like a sure to get your money back no brainer to me.

My read is that the new 6 is not a statement of abandoning the 4 but a response to a real need for a high HP Cayman/Boxter that the 4 just cannot meet....they are two different things, IMHO. They almost had to do the 6.

I think they are committed to the 4 due to both investment and having to meet future mpg and emissions requirements - the things that drove them to the 4 in the beginning.

We will see of course.......

An acquaintance traded his 981 for a new 4, and loves it. And I was quite surprised at the sound it makes.....you'd never know it was a 4.......but I'll never own one.....
