Breaking News: Porsche planning to expand its lineup with three new models

Unless I've been mislead, wasn't the Boxster supposed to have served as Porsche's 'entry level' vehicle? One can only hope that this new 'entry level' Porsche doesn't deviate from so far from the original mission as well.

What three more 911 types? How much can you milk a car.

I'm sure the Boxster will now move up in size slightly,get more hp,more technology, and maybe a hardtop. The entry level or "baby" Porsche will take its spot.

And remember....enrty level is not necessarly cheap..

THIS JUST IN:

"All new Porsche models will be a hatchback design!"

yawn

Speculating Models"
-GT1.25
-Boxster SMS (with Blackberry tie in capabilities)
-Cayenne Pepper (limited edition red with another set of exhaust pipes and massaging seats for the soccer moms)
-Grand Cayman (limited edition with saddle leather, two tone red/tan paint scheme)

hilarious!!

I used to love Porsche. Then the Cayenne came about and it all went down hill from there. and per this news, they will continue tumbling.

The resale on Boxsters is not so hot, you can get a fairly good used one for the 20's and 30's if you look hard enough.

I've even seen some older 911's in the low 30's.

Porsche always just came off as the poser car. I know they perform great and I would not turn one down. But every person in one is some middle-aged business 9-5'er who drives them like they are Buicks. Put on a show and take off once in awhile.

Bring back the 928 that was an awesome car from the past. The 968 cabriolet was gorgeous as well especailly with the pop up headlights. My dad had one in 1993 and I loved driving it.

Boxster starts in the mid 40's and are just out of reach of a person with an average job. Keeps the brand more exclusive. Now they are going to dilute that by selling something to compete with stripped down C300 and 328i's, that everyone with a managers job at McDonalds can afford. When I think MB now, I don't think SL, SLR, or even S anymore. I first picture a shitbox C300 with vinyl (excuse me MBTEX) seats. Same thing goes for BMW. 328's with leatherete are everywhere. My cousin with a secretary job has one. Seeing a Porsche (even a Boxster) is still more of a "moment" for you on the road. I say get rid of the Boxster, don't add something below it. This must be the idea of someone at VW

Lots of immature comments here, especially yours. The C300 or 328i are not pieces of shit. People who think in such terms are just primitive. Sounds like you.

I drive a C230 V6 with MB Tex and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I could easily have ticked off the leather option but I didn't see the point of leather. MB Tex is more durable, easier to clean and looks convincingly leatherish enough.

Porsche is just reacting the economy and the market. These companies need to survive and evolve and this is one way of doing it. In the next few years we are going to see a lot of new models and downsizing from companies that we really didn't expect it from. Get with the times.

Of course you think so, you drive one. No offense. My description of the car was in terms of what it does to MB and BMW's image. It has diluted the brand and made it nothing special to me know. The brand has no cache to me. I look at the car not the badge. When I see an SLR go by I say wow, there goes a $500k car and I'm jealous. When I see a C go by I yawn and say there goes another underpowered high maintenace shitbox with vinyl seats. Sorry if that offends you personally, that's just my opinion. Not sure why that would be considered primitive. I'd just rather not see Porsche go that direction with the brand

maybe they will get a minivan like VW outsourced from Chrysler. I am totally kidding and making fun of the idiotic move VW made with the Minivan.

I'm betting they'll all look like beetles :)
