could there be a niche for such a car - brz/370 beater? allow the boxster to continue to move upscale - standard bloat you tend to see in car lines (ie - 240-260-280-280zx-300); perhaps the boxster no longer appeals to the same demographic it did when it first came out? perhaps they're picking up on the fact that more boxsters are making it to the track than 911's, so trying to attract that market more directly? perhaps it will come with a racing program like the boss 302 or Miata? maybe it's such an easy car to build that they'd be crazy not to make it (ie, a component car similar to the cayenne or macan)?

As the 981 is sort of what the 911 used to be,this new car, which hope is not called the 718, if anything the boxster shouldve originally been called this but at this point the vehicle needs another name. But point is, this car is what the old 2.5 and other early boxsters were, just a modern take on this, now the 981 and cayman are what 911 used to be and the 991 is a GT.

However, i doubt this car is a thing, as we know, the next boxster is supposed to have a 4 cylinder and even higher power outputs then this 718. I agree that a baby panamera is likely, i could also see a mclaren 650S, mercedes sls replacment, ferrari destroyer.
