This is why I don't care if your water cooled luxury whatever is faster and more comfy than my 1987 air-cooled dinosaur. Nest-ce pas?

Maybe it's all relative? I have a vivid memory of driving a friend's then new 1987 and thinking Porsche had turned the 911 into a luxobarge. A speedster owning friend drove my '72S and expressed the same feeling.
Bigger, heavier, more luxury with less driver connection has been the Porsche trend..
