THE FAST TRACK Second Place: 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster S

摘要

How did the car with the best damping, best steering, best brakes, and just plain ol' best performances across the board not win this test of performance? Brand bias and vocal minority. I swear I heard somebody say, "Well, of course it's the best car here. It's a $90,000 Porsche!" Would it be OK with an Abarth badge on it instead? I can't dispute a price that includes $23,460 in options, but like our annual Best Driver's Car contest, that should not matter, either. If we had the $57,000 base 718 Boxster with a manual transmission, it wouldVe received more votes than this apex predator. Ppffft.
