Why would anyone lease a GT4?! One of, if not the, best value retention cars going.

Understood. I think the GT4 would have to be a purchase. The F80 leases were just too good to pass up and I've been accustomed to the low exposure.

I’m glad Porsche went naturally aspirated with the 718 GT4 for the engine, and did not do what bmw did with the m4 gts. |

But since moving to the mountains, I've found there's 3-4 months out of the year I'm barely driving my M3. And I have a dedicated set of winter wheels for it, which work great, but it's not my ski sled, that's what the Jeep is for. Hence, maybe a more dedicated weekend/not winter car. I've stayed away from Porsche, because IMHO, they are overpriced. Even a Cayman S I build is close to $20k more than what I paid for my M3 to get an equivalent build to what my M3 is. |

I understand why BMW decided to do auto only, not sure how in USA, but at least in the UK they only sold a few MT. I also asked my local dealer, how many M4/M3 they sold with MT, they said only very few in 4 years time

I have a 3 car garage, but the third spot is for the wife and I don't like to keep any cars out in the elements! Maybe she wouldn't object to me installing a lift!

This is exactly why I bought one of the last F80 M3s. I had a sinking suspicion that this gen was the end of an era.
I was mainly basing this on BMW sharing more platforms and with the G80 potentially being a mini F90, I thought there is no way a manual is coming. |

This is all a tease from BMW (not the OP I feel). No way they will hold back the manual unless they have had some genuine technical problems with S58 Torque etc etc?

I wanted four doors, something I would track, a fast DD. That is not Porsche. Haven't seen many a Panamera even at an autox. |
