I really, really like this car. The only other car I can think of that immediately put a smile on my face was my E36 M3.

I don't know that it's worth $100k but I really like it.

I’m so glad for you. That’s just great.

Right. Some Ford F-150s, for example.

And my car cost $70k with almost all options. I’m sure the Porsche is a better use of those $$, if I had no need of the practical aspects of my car.

But, as with most BMWs, it’s the ultimate compromise car between a mundane/commodity SUV and a real sports car.

It’s a strong one-car solution.

Two-car equations give you so many more options. Ditto, even more cars…

Agreed.

Until I posted them next to each other today on Twitter, I’d never really noticed that the 718 uses exactly the same font as the 993. Very different from the 986/987.

It appears to be the same font that is on my 997.

Thoughts.

Thoughts.

The 987s and 986s used the more italicized numbers (that are still used for "GTS 4.0" on the side of the car):

It looks like the 911s have always used the squarer font.
