2017 Porsche 718 Cayman: The hardtop Boxster is here

So long, flat-six, we hardly knew ye

Much like its ragtop sibling, the updated Porsche 718 Cayman will sport two different turbocharged flat-four engines, ditching the long-standing flat-six powerplant that formerly moved the Cayman along. In addition to the loss of natural aspiration, the 718 Cayman sees numbers added to its name for the first time, while adding an even more canyon-carving capable suspension.

Sarcasm Spurs Creative Thinking

“Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but the highest form of intelligence,” that connoisseur of witticisms, Oscar Wilde, is said to have remarked. But not everyone shares his view. Communication experts and marriage counselors alike typically advise us to stay away from this particular form of expression.
