It definitely looks better than the 981, softer for sure.
The strip at the back IMHO tones down the higher narrow look of the 981.
There's a picture on here somewhere of a 987 spyder beside a 981 taken from the rear- it really empathises the narrow high look. Granted the low hood on the Spyder gives an extreme comparison.
Anyway the 718 is a good looking car/Porsche!
I am honestly not trying to be argumentative or antagonistic, neither am I biased to the 981 as I love the 718......I simply disagree to 981 looks tall, narrow and high compared to a 987 (981 looks lower and wider IMO) let alone a 718 which is basically a slight facelift.

But it's purely my opinion...... beer

I do have a wide circle of friends from all walks of life....some are potty mouthed and a little rough around the edges hehe

My comment wasn't meant to reprimand you....I was more disappointed that you couldn't leave things be and let the thread get back on track. But I guess I am now just as guilty by adding this post!! Cheers

Looks pretty clear to my eyes in that shot. 981 looks squatter than the 987.

^^^Agreed. There really is nothing to discuss. These flat-earthers are a PITA rotate

Back to the 718 pictures....

Has anyone ever found an image of a 718 Cayman in Sapphire Blue?

I am off to Silverstone PEC on Friday to drive the 718 Cayman S. If I see one in sapphire I will get a snap for you.

Ditto I'd like to see some pics of interiors particularly anything with sport-tex/full leather.

Will do. My order is for the FOC white so will definitely get a few snaps if I see one. Also If there is a Carrara white one there I will try to get a side-by-side shot for those who are on the fence about which white to get, not withstanding the photographic reproduction qualities of an iPhone.

These helped me choose which I preferred. CWM is more silver/blue and flat white is more cream/yellow:

I agree that CWM has a silvery hue; but flat white is a pure white. I have flat white and when parked next to my other half's Mini, which is Pepper White (a creamy yellow shade) it is clear that it is a quite a brilliant white. (I know this is all a bit Farrow and Ball.)

It looks well with the black satin wheels.

Yep - gives a good idea of the colours.

Still no Sapphire Blue 718 Cayman pics or vids anywhere on the 'net.
