Good point. That's true.

See, it's all about what each one of us prefers.

Obviously, you can spend 911-money adding options on the 718. So at what point do you just not get the model above it?

It all depends on the person's preference (and bank account): Some will opt for a fully-loaded 718 at $100k, some will choose a base 911 for the same price.

I was only comparing the inline-6 vs the 4-cylinder.

(Now, as of this moment, it looks like Toyota is only going to offer a Tech Package for the 2.0 (JBL, Nav, etc.) Still, no braking or handling upgrade options to bring it up to the level of the 3.0...yet.)

I personally have no interest in the 2.0 as I've spent a good time and effort upgrading my "thankfully it's a manual!" BRZ and going FI with more hp than the 4-pot Supra. Yes, the Supra is newer, it's a stiffer chassis, with greater tech and loads more torque, but if I'm gonna drop my 6-speed manual, it would only be worth it for the 3.0.

Since you said "in my opinion", I'd take a base 3.0 vs a fully-loaded 2.0.
