ran with it?


You posted a photo of an antique Porsche next to a modern Porsche. Basically to demonstrate the idea that the Carrera becoming a Grand Touring is not really different to what has happened to the Boxster.

This is very misleading because the Carrera has in fact been morphed into a different category of sports car (FatMike's point). Whereas the Boxster is bigger than the 550 simply because it would be impossible to build a street legal production car that way today. Not as long as DOT laws have a say.

Your photo was a apples to oranges comparison. I posted an apples to apples comparison. That's all.
