Mat- you’re one of my favorite reviewers and I gave this video a like but have to disagree re: the Porsche 718 being one of the 10 worst replacements. Yes, the soundtrack isn’t as pleasant as the previous generations but the styling and performance are better. The relatively little amount of low end lag is negligible and after that it’s spectacular. It still sounds good it just doesn’t sound like it did. Being an overall better car with a less brilliant soundtrack should not qualify for this list. You’re certainly entitled to your opinion but 10 worst?

That did mean we got the double wishbone rear suspension though, so there is that.

5:32 I actually think this would be a good thing for lotus to try again. Take a VW golf, which has gotten quite large and heavy, and do a re-shell to make it lighter and much quicker. This would ditch all the most tedious stuff for a company to develop, and it would make certification much easier. The best part is if Lotus can remove enough weight they can make a sports car with better performance than a GTI with GTD levels of fuel economy.
