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) |

Oh, I know, and I agree...was just pointing out an interesting fact relative to size. The point of the article, I think, was the new 'baby Porsche'. So they are making the boxster larger so the smaller car IS smaller. personally, IMO it should not be a cabrio, it should be a removable targa.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Maybe like this, but with our 914s' flush door handles? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . TC's comparison pic above shows the relative size well!
