 Porsche Roxster in Santa Barbara | « » 3:26 PM 11-23-2009 | |
|
Sorry for the crappy pictures, they weren't exactly cooperating, but there was a line of about 9 Roxster's cruising by the beach this morning. Taken with my cell phone, but you get the idea. Size wise is about the same as an X3, looked pretty goodhttp://www.worldcarfans.com/10...tos#5

Roxster? Did I miss the memo about it?  So they're bringing a X3 sized SUV to the market now?
It's been 7 hours and 26 days...

Woah! Thought we heard these things were D-E-A-D dead? 
Yes Martha, you can get your new 2010 Toyota 4Runner with a 4-cylinder. As long as it's 2WD. And as long as it's with an old 4-speed automatic.

There was a thread awhile back listing future products from Porsche with a deadline. This was one of them.

porsche needs to be more low volume and be above all this "cute ute ****"
the range should be as follows
*911: (duh)*boxter/cayman/new 914/whatever: one model hardtop and convert available curb weight below 2600 lbs *928/panamera: available as a 2 door or 4 door. *low volume supercar every 6-10 years.

The Tiguan is designed on a platform for transverse engines (and a somewhat outdated one, by now, for that matter - related to the MkV Golf and the Eos). The Q5 is on the Audi longitudinal engine platform, and also has a much wider stance. There is really nothing in common between them.

VW EV, plug-in Hybrid, and/or 1.4-2.0 VVT&VVL T/dual-charged FSI engines for the US would be useful...

I saw the same ones in Fort Providence NWT on Nov 8. There were only 8 when I saw them. About the same size as the Tiguan or Q5.

I hope not, because the name makes no sense. Boxster is short for "Boxer Roadster". What are people claiming Roxster is short for?

It's a fun, youthful sounding name. Who cares what it means, so long as it is not offensive to some sort of race/religion/ethnicity?
