Front end looks great; rear end looks a bit ungainly......

Those shark fins are so '80s.

Nice, but I prefer the original 356 version.

It's nobody's business what cars I own. I will tell you one thing though, they're air cooled and I beat 'em like they owe me money.

I like the 911 Speedster better than the 997 one but the 356 was the best.
Did they even bother to cut the windscreen down like a proper Speedster on the 997?

once again it seems the guys in marketing were more behind this car than the engineers. yes, yes, i know, the original was also driven by marketing, but the original had something special about it. it was stripped down to the bare bones, the "el cheapo" horribly impractical model made for guys who wanted to race it in scca events with only the slightest modifications.
so, how exactly is this car related to the original 356 speedster aside from the script? certainly not in spirit, nor in design. it appears to be nothing more than a special edition boutique car. they should have called it the $peedster.

http://www.autoweek.com/article/2010...NEWS/101119841A car smaller than the Boxster also has been discussed. Maier said it's possible “if we would be able to find a car that will be best in class and share all the DNA of Porsche.”
He said there is no timeframe yet for a decision.
According to reports, the small sports car would use a new VW Group mid-engine platform that would also be used by the VW Bluesport sports car is due in 2013.
