What are the chances of a C8 FE and C8 ME revealing together?

A low volume ME would dramatically extend the time it would take for GM to recoup it's considerable development costs, if ever, and declare a profit unless the ME is only sold at high-end Porsche and Ferrari prices, which isn't likely. This needs to be a mass-produced car at C6 and C7 numbers to be profitable.

Pimp, the Cayman was no more then Porsche's effort to get prices down to where a hairdresser or secretary could afford one of their cars. They cut all sorts of corners to build these things to get into that price range. Zora Duntov is rolling over in his grave listening to you compare the Cayman to the pending ME.

You can't be serious? The Boxter is a market compromise. It is an enbarrassment. It truly is a hairdressers car or secretaries car. That car was meant to cater to people that concede to mediocrity.

She was good looking but that guy was a wimp and accepted the SUV!I only drive the wife's' BMW X5 SUV when it's raining OR I have to go to Sam's and picking up multiple large packages of paper towels, toilet tissues or facial tissues. Can only fit two in the C7 with one in the passenger seat!
Wonder if there will be room for more than 1 other than that in the C8 passenger seat??

Haha, should my takeaway be that only wimpy guys (try to) buy themselves trucks then? :P
Nah, I'm just joking around, but I do find it hilarious that a car with a reputation for skimping on its interior in part to make a price point has a bunch of people mocking a car that they supposedly think is flawed because thew view it as compromising to make a price point.

C'mon Mang. Boxster? Seriously? I live in SW Florida and see 75 Porsches a day. Boxsters are nothing special and literally everywhere. I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw a man driving a Boxster. Most car guys assume a guy is gay if he drives a Boxster in this area. The Boxster is a better looking car than the ugly, boring, Beetle "esque" 911.

I doubt if I am the only enthusiast here who notices how some Porsche fanboys in disguise get their sensitive ***** busted in a million pieces when they read posts pointing out the excessive prices and obvious shortcomings of these P-cars.

Predictable projection, considering you seem to overreact at the mere mention of Porsches and Miatas.
And anyhow, if we're talking being fans of German cars, I'm far more apt to be a fan of BMW M series. Never really had a thing for Porsches, but as I stated when you got upset over Miatas, I can appreciate all cars. FWIW, I (very briefly) cross-shopped 944s with the Corvette too, I have exactly zero issue saying that was quicky dropped from contention due to service costs.

The Boxter/Cayman is a market compromise as it was designed to accomodate a much lower pricepoint for the tradtional 911 buyer. The Boxter/Cayman car was never a Corvette competitor despite what some Porsche owners attempt to purvey.

Yes. I am serious about two statements. 1. the Boxster is a wonderful car, and I have owned far more cars than have most folks. 2. Your remarks about people show a great deal of ignorance and prejudice on your part.
