5 minutes ago I was doing a number in the bathroom. I was looking through the August 2004 issue of Excellence and when I was just about through, I took a quick look at the cover. There's a Boxster S on there. Was the idea for this car built from what the 914 may have looked like if it had progressed generation after generation as the 911 did? When designs were being drawn up for this car, did anyone at Porsche say, hey, that looks a little like a 914? I'm interested in your opinions too, you's think the 914 would have looked similar or completely different from the Boxter?

I went to the Porsche dealer for parts today for my 993 and I was very suprised to see the chrome 914 model in with all the other models. They have two more left at the Newport Beach dealer. They said they will probably not be able to get anymore. |
