Spend any time in Porsche forums, and you'll find plenty of people who complain how Porsche is getting too modern and soft like BMW, with electric steering, bigger/heavier cars, interiors that are too fancy, etc. For my tastes, 2012'ish was kind of the end of the road for me with both Porsche and BMW. Lotus seems to still be keeping it real, at least for now. I'd love to try out an Evora 400.

I've gotta say, although I'm not personally interested and would never buy one with out a stick, Corvette just served up a moonshot. The C8 is practically a Ferrari for $60k, which is insane.
This. Agree totally...I find current Porsches to be much number than older ones same for BMW. Have driven several newer ones and was happy to get back in the 1M. The last Porsche worth getting for me was the 997 and prior.
