Hooray for staying on subject.
As far as the car having a 4 cylinder in it, I can see it happening due to the restrictions and efficiency requirements needed in the next few years. Obviously, it'd be a shame if they put in a 4 cylinder that wasn't a flat-4 and they continue to call the car Boxster. Hopefully, as someone stated just a few posts ago, if they do make it a flat-4 they keep it sounding like a Porshce and don't go for the Boy Racer Burble you get from any Subaru with even slightly larger exhaust plumbing.
