Boxster Coupe?
This was posted by a guy named Robert on the POC Board.
It's not as ugly as the convertible, in my opinion. Maybe this is even what guys like me will be buying in 30 years. Hard to say. Boxster Coupe ------------------ Jack Olsen 1973 911 T (3.6) sunroof coupe jackolsen@mediaone.net |

It's not a bad looking car, but is anyone else thinking "911 with a smaller motor?" What's the point!

I think Porsche could do well out of such a car. Where I live in an affluent London 'burb Audi TT's, Merc SLK's and BMW Z3's are de rigueur. The Boxster right now is a fair bit more expensive than these cars and if they could make one to compete and still keep it a *proper* Porsche, I think it would do very well.
BTW, I think the car in the pic looks pretty cool. And I like the tail lights :P ------------------ Phil Garner '72 911E Sporto |

My question is - if they put a hardtop on the car and make it a Coupe, how will one get to the engine?
Just take a look at the hardtop for the existing Boxster. Still doesn't cut it in my less-than-humble opinion  I'd drive one, of course...I'm still considering leasing one for a daily driver once I get the 911 paid for. ------------------ Mark Szabo 1986 911 Targa 3.2 1987 Escort 5-speed 1.9 RIP The Porsche Owners Gallery |

'Artists Rendition', yeah right, that means no one has an idea so lets patch together the Carrera and the Boxster and make it look vagely familiar. If Porsche does a coupe I bet they make it look as little like the Carrera as possible so the Carerra owners don't get pissed at all those 'cheap' boxsters look-a-likes.

Engine access ... let's see? How about a couple/half-dozen of cabrio/Targa latches, and the whole tail and roof hinges back like a 550A Spyder tail or XKE front end?

Anyone notice the 356 rear decklid? That must be the "retro" part. Who was the artist, Picasso?
