I think the 718 Cayman/Boxster will tell us something about whether a 4 cylinder premium sports car can be successful - there's a lot of skepticism from the P car diehards...but I think that the reduction in cylinders was done in the 718 as a method by which to distinguish the 911. You want a flat 6 wail? You gotta get a 911...
I can personally say that the 4 cylinder turned me off the 718 and I ordered an M4 instead. I had a Subaru already. In my mind Porsche and H6 engines are gospel and anything else is blasphemy.
