An Audi Boxster?

There are rumours that Audi will develop a Porsche Boxster rival, to be called the R4. According to Automotive News, plans for this small sports car have caused quite a stir among the German car giants - it's a direct challenge to Porsche, which now has a near-controlling stake in VW, Audi's parent group.
