I’m not sure this claim is really born out by reality. It’s difficult to buy a 911 right now because demand for 911s is very high. Porsche haven’t cut production vs previous model years of the 911, they’ve consistently increased it.

I honestly had no idea Chrysler was even still around.

You should drive them to see if one speaks to you over the other. It was an easy choice once I test drove them both. The 718 felt smaller, lighter, and more exciting to drive. The C8 was way faster in a straight line but that was the only real advantage it had for me.
