Sorry if this is a re-post, but just came across this. Interesting possibilities, wonder if it will come to the U.S.

I know the Boxster is essentially the modern 914, but I just want them to produce the 914 again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

A modernized looking 914 (targa top...even a an old fashioned manual one as we have, two seats, two trunks, etc...) is the perfect platform for an e-vehicle (or hybrid). Maybe Porsche will realize that the styling of the 914 is that good!!

Wake me up now...I've been dreaming for decades.

I disagree

Its actually a modern 550 Spyder. That was the inspiration, for the prototype

Boxster = convertible
914 = Targa

Big difference IMHO
