Agreed, that the whole 718 moniker is stupid.

You mean exciting in a positive way? Don't think I'm with you on that.

It's hard for me to imagine personalities for electric engines, whereas gas engines have unique feels to them beyond the sounds they make: the whole starting, breathing in, expiring out, oxygen consuming life analogy. Even ICE cars can be appliance-like but, it's almost guaranteed for an EV to be an appliance. Given that the naturally aspirated 911's, boxsters & caymen are some of the cars furthest from feeling like appliances, yeah, this only makes me sad. If all rav4's became electric, would I care? No.
