With VW now controlling Porsche, only God knows what will happen with quality an choice of engines. It well may be 914 story all over again. Great concept, wrong choices, Dejavu guys?

After my 99 Boxster engine seized last year, I seriously considered making it an electric like the Tesla. I second Pothole's view on the hybrid Boxster.

I've be very surprised if it were anything other than a boxer design. After all, it is a Boxster.
