the car mags have all been talking about a "baby boxster"... I wonder if Porsche will make a whole "new" boxster line/body style..or if they will simply create THREE variants of the boxster...

they can keep the "S" and "base" model with 6 cyl engines and create a new "lower" line wiht a 4banger and less luxury stuff....

dunno if the "cheap" one will look the same...I would think it would look simlar but be "Just" enough different that "s" and "base" buyers will feel like their cars stands out as "better" than the cheap one....

just like the boxster increased Porsches volume when it first cam eout - maybe this "baby boxster" will be cheap enough and sell in great enough numbers that Porsche will generate more money / increase volume even more and perhaps bring new customers into the dealership that had not come in before.... depens on pricing...
