Soltice is Miata competitor not Boxster.

Caddy doesn't need a "Toy-roadster"
Maybe a turbocharged Buick (Bengal) would be a good answer?

I think it will match up very well if it gets the rumored 240hp turbo ECOTEC. If it gets the Ion Redline and Cobalt SS's supercharged ECOTEC it will be quick but not Boxter quick.

For caddy to be the standard of MY world it does lol. X2222's old Caddy concept would fit the bill.

Yeah I'd rather have the Carrera Gt too! :-p

[GM_Guy81]

for the same price/lower price I would rather have a C6!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that looks about 1763709 times better than the 997. Sorta' like a mini-Maserati.

As for a GM Boxter/Z4 competitor how about a revived Saab Sonnet based on the Solstice w/ a variable displacement turbo 4 (or has GM killed that program at Saab?). Especialy if they can get the Solstice's weight under controll it should be the performance leader (low weight is everything in this segment).

...however I'd like to see the E-type brought into production ever more (based on the next Miata?). That would own oldschool :afro:

It is the 997; u mean 996 but thats ok. Yeah a Saab in there would help take brand go upscale. I coudnt see buick there though; Buicks could be about going fast, but not going fast through the twisties.

Nice job Porsche. Not a huge updtate but it reminds me of a small carrera GT.

[casket_demon]

Looks like the last one...what's different about it?

[Rex Raider]

Current Boxster:


It's apparently an all new car, but immediately noticeable are the new headlights and front bumper.

The rear flares differently as well.

I guess you have to know the car to spot the differences.

Probably what the Porsche site said about the C6.

[GMObsession6]

It's not a total difference form the last one, but still looks good.
