Rivals for the 718 usually fall into two categories: performance or luxury.
The new 911 certainly rivals the 718 for performance, but it costs much more.
The Mercedes-Benz SLC Class is a luxury contender, but its dated interior lets it down compared to the 718.
The Audi TT is a handsomely styled coupe or convertible, but only top trims can reach the 718’s performance.
The Corvette boasts a big V-8 and eye-popping numbers to match, it’s a chainsaw compared to the 718’s scalpel.
The 370Z has the right proportions (and price) but its V-6 is overmatched compared to the rest.
