name for the smaller car. It seems they are abandoning the numbering system (save the 911) across the product line except for the internal project codes. I am okay with the boxster gaining more power but I would think between 320-350 hp would be about all the car needs. I am more interested in the car either loosing weight or gaining no more weight (and size) than it currently had. All car companies seem to do this as models progress (look at an 80's camry compared to a new one) until the model becomes just a remnant of what it was originally designed for. If they are going to drive the boxster up market, I would like to see more use of aluminum to save weight as I doubt people are going to give up the navigation systems, and luxury options that are driving the weight up in these cars. As far as the baby boxster...I think it is a brilliant idea and fully support it especially if the weight is really low and they use the flat four. Some people see the 924-944-968 series as a dark moment in porsche history...anybody who has owned one will tell you they were some of the best "driver's" cars the company has made and it seems they may be poised to do it again. I hope the styling is differentiated enough from the boxster that each model can exist and have appeal on it's own.
