Explain the Volvo connection please?
I know that some Boxsters have been made in Finland, thus they are more likely to be Nokias than Volvo s aren't they?
The whole motor industry is now so interconnected that its difficult to point at any car and say that it is 100% pure. Many cars are just re-branded from other makes.
Incidentally Porsche, being design consultants, have designed parts of many cars, so just being designed by Porsche doesn't turn for example a Seat Ibiza into a Porsche.
What should one make of the 914 in terms of being a Porsche or otherwise.Examine the marketing history and you'l find that it was sold as a VW in some countries and as a Porsche in others, and I think, a VW-Porsche in yet others..
