Agree 100%. We're arguing about generational gaps and advances in technology. The older cars have their advantages (higher value) and the newer cars have theirs (tech).

I've had the opportunity to drive various flavors of Porsches through generations - just waiting on an opportunity to drive a CGT and the new 911. They all have their own soul.
