With the 2.0T motor and DSG, this could be a very, very entertaining car, especially with a few light mods to the motor.
I'm very interested to see the Porsche version, though. Thing is, this looks front-engined, not mid- or rear-engined. Is Porsche going to go with that layout for the baby Boxster?

You're right. I thought the concept was but didn't see it in the text above. I see it in there now.

I'm not holding huge hopes for a new, aluminum, mid-engine chassis roadster being affordable after seeing how much money they want just to take a stupid trip down their corporate parts bin.

Hey...even at $40K I would consider it. I am not a fan of the 370Z which I guess would be the only competitive car to this one, at least in terms of price. I expect the biggest hurdle VW might have is convincing people to pay this much for a sports car with a 4 cylinder engine--although that wasn't too much of a problem for Honda.

You know, at the end of the day it's still a VW. After watching 3 spontaneously burst into flames and burn totally to the ground plus having to help my daughter and my son have to continually fight electrical, AC, starting and window gremlins on 3 different VWs I can't imagine this car will appeal to many beyond diehard VW fanbois
