The last line of the article..

"And with Porsche's stake in V-Dub, that means a 914 successor is just a badge and prayer away."

Pure speculation but seems possible.

The two galleries they listed in the article are past show cars, right? If I understand the article correctly they don't have pictures of the new car yet...

The first gallery is the Concept R from 2003 and the yellow one is the Eco-Racer from 2005.

Pretty much. I always thought that a light Porsche/VW mid-engine car with a 200+ HP 2.0 or 1.8L Turbo would be awesome, but with Boxster prices what they are, if I want a modern mid-engine convertible, I think I'll just pick up a 986.

Of course, if they can put out something that weighs close to 2000lbs and actually competes with the Elise, then I might be convinced to pay $45k for one over the Lotus.

Promises, promises.
Chrysler showed the Plymouth Pronto Spyder back in the '90s. Mid-engine, 2.0 drivetrain from the Neon, target price low $20s. Never made it beyond the show car stage.

They should have built it... and had the 2.4T option out of the SRT4/PT-GT. that could have been a contender.

AutoWeek of 28 July (pg 7) reports same possibility. Basically said VW plans a lightweight, affordable mid-engine roadster and coup for sale in 2011. Majority stockholder Porsche reportedly interested "opening the way for possible resurrection of the 914."

Don't care for the Audi TT coupe? I think that is the best looking car to come out of Germany in a long time.
