PORSCHE 718 - New entry-level Roadster in 2016

[nieuwhzn]

and back to the main thread.....flat-4 Porsche roadster....

I hope we all realize that this is going to sound like an old VW Beetle an/or a Subaru, right?
Plus some waste gate wheezing. Nothing against flat-4s. After all, my father owned two VW beetles, so I pretty much grew up in them. But, I don't associate their sound with a Porsche.

Ever since the new Beetle came out with it's retro styling, I've been wondering when VW would bring out a new retro Karmann Ghia. Seems like a no brainer.

Before I was able to afford a Boxster, the Ghia was the car I craved, but couldn't find one in an acceptable condition. Eventually the value of a good condition Ghia passed that of a good condition Boxster, so I went with the better performance and panache, but there are still very few cars better looking than a Karmann Ghia.

A new Karmann Ghia with styling cues of the original and performance on par or better than my Boxster would be just about the perfect car to me.

This concept has been around for probably 10 years. Was a joint VW/Porsche/Audi 4-cyl mid-engine roadster right in-line with what is being discussed here. But killed off multiple times already.

See now that is what I do not like, if it is ghia retro styled... I would take the VW over the Porsche! Hope they build it.
