QUOTE:

Question didn't the VW/Audi group make a W8? And, wasn't the point of that motor to fit into a Passat? Maybe that's the right sized motor for a Boxster? Thoughts?

2 problems with the W8: like the W12, they break crankshafts. which leads to the second problem that there are no internal parts available from the dealer. long blocks only, $20K...

and why doesn't the QUOTE work right on this board?
