2012 Boxster

Wondering if anyone has heard anything solid about this new Generation Boxster supposedly coming this year.

I'm hearing 4 cylinder 270hp on the base model and with some shaved weight. I wonder how it will sound, not sure I've been in a 4 banger that ever sounded the way I like, though I haven't been in one in years.

I am hoping for 6 cylinder with about 270 horsepower with DFI. I might just buy it. Wish there was some good solid info available. Bet there will be some good pricing on the 2011's.

Whip, I have to say IMO, the 944 exhaust had no snarl. However, regarding all 4 bangers, the Fiat 124 sounds bad ass...

Ya like I said been a while. What was the displacement of the 944, I just loved those cars back in the 80s, I was fresh out of college and couldn't afford one, got a used 83 Mazda RX7 loved it.

944's were 2.5. The S2 were 3.0
