“This is good,” I thought to myself about two minutes after swapping seats with my drive partner and settling in behind the wheel. “This is extremely good.”

urns out that it’s not easy making money off of small cars. Even if those small cars aren’t really all that cheap. And with a new boss in town, BMW needs to make more money from its vehicles. Which means, according to a new report, that many of BMW’s smaller cars are getting the ax.

Either in response to customer demand or as part of its plan all along, Porsche is introducing a new 4.0-liter 6-cylinder engine for top-tier 718 models. Mercifully, these will be offered with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard in either the Spyder and Cayman GT4.
