To compete in the market with the Alfa, that means it'll run in the $60k range. So much for an entry level model. I would expect the same dismal resale values as the boxster. Esp when lease surrenders flood the market. No thanks.

Seems like a good idea but I'd like to know why they'd recycle the 718 number? That makes no sense to me.

How do you write an article with that description and not mention a link to the 914?

Porsche is pretty pathetic these days. At least a version of our car was raced at Lemans. Now it's just 911's and over priced race cars. Why don't they make a Boxster or Cayman worth racing at Lemans? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

You make it sound like there are affordable cars running LeMans!

You make it sound like there are affordable cars running LeMans! That's true, but you could buy a used 911 and try to convince yourself that it's similar to one of the Lemans 911's. Same thing with some of the GT Ferrari's which I can't afford either. Too bad I'm not into Nascar. It would be easy to afford one of the stock versions of those. |

I thought this was the funniest line, about the styling:
unique styling (or, at least as unique as Porsche styling can get) Gotta admit, the 911 and the 914 and the 924/44 and 928 all looked about as different as different can be... Paul |

How do you write an article with that description and not mention a link to the 914? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Because it was written by a 22year old kid with a masters in american history and writes for a electronics web magazine who has no clue about Porsche history. |

How do you write an article with that description and not mention a link to the 914? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) marc, because there's no resemblance to the 914. Just because its a petite boxster doesn't make it a 914. They got a long way to go to modernize an equivalent design of the 914. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) What do the cars in a Nascar race have to do with what's in the showrooms? They are purpose built, space age tube frame race cars. You could skin them into whatever shape you want; they just happen to make them look kinda sorta like Chevs and Fords and Toyotas or whatever. |

They got a long way to go to modernize an equivalent design of the 914. Already have been making them for a while now. They're called Caymans and they are fantastic to drive. No targa top - yet, otherwise that IS your new 914-6. Wait until the new big 4 cylinder arrives in . . . 2016 I think it is? Woody will know. |
