Nothing like the original 718 - guess Porsche too has fallen into that marketing approach of names sell...

As for the four, the industry as a whole is moving to smaller turbo engines.

On a positive note, very cool commercial.

I figured it will just be a shorter version of the Boxster/996 engine...

Those are supposedly a tad bit too wide if keeping the stock trailing arm locations.

The new 718 will weight more than twice as much as the original 718. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (2625 vs 1280 lbs.)

Thank god they didnt call it a 914....

I had a Classic Mk1 Scirocco GTI when VW started using the name again... lets just say it made searching for parts on ebay impossible because it would only show the new plastic stuff from a gazillion asian part traders....

and...

"Didnt you have a Scirocco?"
-Yes I do... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
"How's the luggage compartment, can I fit my golf clubs? I'm thinking of getting the diesel DSG one..."

To keep in line with this silliness I suppose Porsche will rename the 991 to 908 911...
