er...am I missing something here? We have Boxsters (with or without hard-tops)...we have 911's in a variety of guises...what are Porsche trying to do with this new model exactly?
To me, this looks like a "cut-down" 911. Presumably it will be a lot cheaper to buy and (surely) Porsche are not going to make it competitive in terms of outright performance against the 911? I seem to remember Porsche AG saying a few years ago that they wouldn't ever bring out a turbo Boxster for that very same reason i.e. competition against their own 911?!
Will be interesting to see what effect this has on 911 sales....don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to poor cold water on what looks like possibly a fantastic car, but I just don't see where it fits into the Porsche range (other than being a cheap 911 look-alike?!)
Just my hapenny's worth!!
