"Bruce,
I believe that VW had come up with a nice kick ass roadster from a concept car they had shown in Europe. Why would you thnk that the would use a rebadge Boxster? Porsche doing that would be killing the Boxster marque as I see it. Pretty stupid and lame"
Never overestimate the mangement of a car manufacturer. It has been done before and likely will be again.
Porsche MAY sidestep this mishap and they may not.
