Just read this, about VW - now owner of the Karmann plant where all /4 & -6 914 bodies were built & 914/4s completed - will be providing Porsche AG with overflow production capacity of the Boxster! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
I just just hear it now: "Well if your Boxster was built by VW at the old Karmann plant in Osnabrueck ..... then it's not a real Porsche, but a VW!!!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) http://wardsauto.com/plants-amp-production...cars-osnabrueck |
