I smh every time I hear or see one of these piling on situations about the 718 sound.
The 718 S and GTS sound awesome. They don't sound the SAME as the NA flat 6 cylinder... but then again, they're superior in every objective way.
I have a couple Priuses as company cars, and I love the sound of the electric motors. Blasphemy? No. It's the sound of a tool that is well-honed to do what it does best. The 2.5 in the 718 S/GTS is exactly that.
My last car had a 5.0 V8 that also had a great -but different - sound. My point is that there can be more than ONE great sounding drivetrain for a vehicle. Some people need to learn to expand their appreciation of automotive sounds.
If the sound is not for you, just move along. I will keep and enjoy the hell out of my 718 GTS.
The NA engines are not coming back.
