We all need new money trees to afford those cars. Its getting nuts.

And that's why we love these little cars. Affordability combined with performance. Plus, you can modify them any way that one sees fit. Still, the spyders a beautiful car.

+1 on the McLaren. When Top Gear did the drag race between the F1 and the Bugatti, they failed to commentate the F1 had the Bugatti by several car lengths off the start. Granted, a 240+mph car would be fun, but where can you drive it? The fun stuff is up to 150mph IMHO.

Blah, it's just a warmed over 914... wouldn't pay more than $10,000 for it.

The ZR1 looks like a better and better deal every day.

In the same article I read this:

Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn said last week Porsche will probably add a new line of smaller Boxster roadsters to its four-model lineup as the manufacturer aims to double sales in the medium term to 150,000 cars and sport-utility vehicles.

Hmmm...
