Porsche Cancels Sub-Boxster Model
Due to current economic conditions in Europe, Porsche has canned the highly anticipated sub-Boxster model. We reported last month CEO Matthias Mueller was quoted as saying in a German magazine that the introduction of the entry-level roadster to its model lineup would be delayed amid worries that the car could dilute the brand's image, but our sources reveal to us that this project is officially dead.
Despite this bit of bad news, VW's engineering boss, Uli Hackenberg, stated that the Bluesport project is still very much alive in a report with EVO earlier this month.

Can't decide if that's bad news or not. Given VW, Audi and Porsche were planning models from the same platform, there was a good chance that this car would have too much negative reaction based on comparisons to those competing lines. Sort of a 914-like buying acceptance, regardless of whether the car was any good.

The Boxster & Cayman are the perfect place to welcome new members to the Porsche brand. This new model would forever be subjected to comparisons to Miatas, 370Zs, Genesis Coupes, Toyobarus much less it's VW & Audi cousins. That's not the best place for the brand find itself competing in.

I think is good news.
Also if VW buys Porsche and Ducatti this year. I think they have other brands in the group to make that car segment7idea/size/thing possible. Maybe a two seater A1-A3 cabrio...
