      So does the 718, yet is the same car as the 981 with a 4 cylinder engine.

      If you want to measure how different the car is by a number stamped in a sheet of metal instead of the actually body in the car, feel free to. To me they could even call it Kia Picanto, still looks like it’s using the exact same platform as the 2nd gen.

        There are several engineering changes which the article discusses. By every development metric this is a new generation of car.

          You have bigger engineering changes with for example 911’s

          991.1 to 991.2 going from NA to turbos.
          Or the 997.1 to 997.2 with brand new blocks and direct injection engines and going from torque converter tiptronic to PDK.
