I have been wondering a lot lately if there is an equivalent of a light weight sports car like a 914 made for today’s drivers. The 914 seems to have been focused on driving, rather than comfort: my 61 Falcon was no less comfortable or optioned. I know they have to pass safety and emissions. A toybaru?

I think that although the Boxster is the most modern 914 like car from an engineering standpoint, it is far from a 914 in its appearance. The Boxster's design evolved from the 911 and unfortunately, the 914 design was abandoned. Personally, I think the 914 was ahead of its time in many respects including its shape and I feel this one of the reasons that the cars are now gaining so much popularity. It took 45 years for the design to catch up with the times!
