Car and Driver reports 2014 sub-Boxster Options

[flipb]

I know we've beaten this topic to death in prior threads, but this strikes me as the most mainstream, trustworthy media source to report on it...

The May 2010 issue of Car and Driver, on page 58, lists the "2014 Porsche 'Baby Boxster'" as one of the 25 upcoming models worth waiting for.

Here's a webcam photo of the artist's rendering from the magazine.


They report it will start under $40,000. Not exactly 914 territory - IIRC, that's what they said about the first-gen Boxster too.

Anyway... here's hoping they call it the 914.

Someone emailed me a report saying that some of the Harvard guys that were appointed to run Obama Motors were told by the GM engineers that getting 40MPG was against the "laws of physics" . The Obama guys told the engineers : that why we'er here ...to change those laws. Now those same Harvard guys are going to be telling your Dr. how to do their business.

If, in fact the engineers told management there were laws of physics preventing 40MPG, then it is a perfect time to sack those engineers and replace them with someone that has read an engineering book sometime this century.

I believe that GM enmgineers told management a number of years ago that 30MPG was against the laws of physics. Even before that, 23MPG was against the laws of Physics.

It seems that these "Laws of Physics" are being mixed-up with "want to", or even "It wasn't my idea so it isn't possible".

If it takes the Obama crew to raise the bullshit flag, more power to them. It's about time somebody raised that flag.
