Not sure how that's so different from a Boxter Spyder!
Porsche, the king of market segmentation!

According to an Autobild and Autozeitung article today a new Porsche entry model is coming soon.
itīs a new Midengine Roadster (4m long and 1,24m tall).
So itīs smaller and cheaper than the Boxster and will be called the 551
(a spiritual successor to the legendary 550 spyder).
what do u think?

You can't blame Porsche if they can find a bunch of fanatical kool-aide drinkers like me to buy cars like this. Well, I have a Cayman S, but there are many a 911 owner who see the Cayman as an "also ran".

with a totally new forced induction flat-4 tho.
but what about the gay comments on the new, tiny 551 then?

You know what, I don't give a jacksass what people will say about the 551 but it'll sit nicely next to my 997tt and I'll say that's my toy's toy! Damn, my factory options and mods cost more than the car so I don't think I'll go wrong, which ever way you slice it.

yes, it has to do with those things you mention, but whether you like it or not it dilutes the brand when they continue to introduce more and more "entry level" models....however, that being said, it seems as if they are going to continue to introduce the 918's as well, so that is a good brand investment! Also, I want to point out that entry level Porsche is still kind of an oxymoron...Ill still check them out and Im sure they will be great to drive!
