http://www.autoweek.com/article/20100816/CARNEWS/100819878 Boxster to grow (911 grew with the new motor & wheelbase), to make room to help VW sell a sporty car to make a profit (& feed off Porsche's cachet) ...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Will it work better this time? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Well, maybe - if they're smart enough NOT to cross-brand the Porsche version this time!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

did you know? a 914 STILL has a longer wheelbase than a 997? Interesting point, but I haven't really compared them. However, the Boxster/Cayman line are longer overall IIRC & about half again as heavy (3000# vs. 2270#). But then - that's not really the point of the article nor the post - rather, just that VW & Porsche appear to continue to seriously consider a new small entry level Porsche - whether it's the "914 Redux" or "356 Redux" or some other flavor, all of which have been speculated here & in the auto press. |
