I'm kind of disappointed to be honest. I was hoping it would take some more styling cues from the 918. And it still has a soft top? All its competitors have moved to folding hard tops.

That's b/c Porsche makes sports cars, not hairdressers' cars. A retractable hard top would add a lot of weight. If you want a hard top, there's always the Cayman.

I'd like a hardtop if they kept weight down (like the Miata) but I have a feeling Porsche would make it a little heavier in the interests of more sound deadening and "sophistication"...
