I love the sound of my flat six 997.2 Carrera S—-
The next generations don’t sound anything like it.
I originally wanted a 997.2 turbo, which although it’s very fast, sounds more like a vacuum than a sports cars.
Teslas and other e-cars sound like a librarian passing gas.
Half the fun and experience is the sound, and that is going away with turbos and e- cars.

Will Paying a premium for a Porsche badge make sense in another decade? I’m not sure.
Then again Porsche lost its appeal to me after the 997 generation as they started to turbo charge everything and the once glorious wail of the flat six has been replaced with crackles and wheezes of what sounds like a Beluga whale with bronchitis.
