Can see your point but for me Porsche and its 911 was the last of true sports cars. Its about history and pedigree, much like the reasoning behind its shape only ever really being tweeked.

In saying that they have developed that 7 speed manual so the thought is still there, its just one other thing that made a 911 special IMO.

Cant say the electric steering gets much of a good wrap either. But damn does it look the business.
