EV Policy? The States Take Charge

Is The Auto Better Than The Manual?

IT’S FUNNY HOW time can make even the most assured comments soften like a rotting peach. Take my remark on the manual version of Porsche’s sensational Cayman GT4 from last year: “It means – and I can’t believe I’m saying this – that perhaps the GT4 to buy will be the automatic version…” Even now it reads like blasphemy. But, in my defense, the only criticism I could fairly level at the manual GT4 was that its ratios felt too long. The top of the second redlined at just under 140km/h, so the prospect of a punchier, quick-shifting auto with an extra ratio didn’t sound too bad.
