Wow. Great deal.

That’s pretty nice and my son was quite taken with the red interior on the Giulia. But if I got the M2 I’d keep the Boxster.

A 911 is something I could use daily.

Will your kids actually fit in the back of a 911? For how long will that remain true?

I see an M2 in your future.

I know the post 997 911's have a roomier back seat, but I have to say that in my experience, if used regularly to ferry children (especially with any kind of gear/bags/etc.) it will get old quickly.

It's nice to have back doors and a real trunk.

Meh.

The way BMW does “sport” now is too sterile and too geared toward synthetic noise and bench racing simulators.

Pretty favorable review of the Genesis G70 manual FWIW:

Was the car completely warmed up? Cold throttle response is frighteningly bad. Once completely warm, tip in still took some adjusting for me, at this point I don't even notice it.

That car looks really good but I have a feeling that car's time is going to be limited. If someone is interested in it they better jump on it quickly. There is a good reason why Manual's aren't readily available any longer, the majority of people just don't want them plus the automatics nowadays are excellent.

God bless Porsche for allowing for manual 911s and GT3s.

I see your point and it makes me want to buy cars with manuals and stockpile them.

Counterpoint: automatics are still terrible.
