If the boxter was even remotely close to the concept car, I would be

desperate to get one. It isn't, and I am extremely disappointed. At least the

SLK is turning out to be a little nicer than the concept vehicle, but

unfortunately not being offered with a stick. Oh well, I can't imagine how

Porsche managed to design another vehicle that is reverisble, like the 914 of

old. Must be really tough to design a mid-engined car. I guess since the

Elise won't make it here, I won't even think of replacing The Fly any time

soon. I'm glad that at least the readers on the list agree that a stick shift

is a good thing. They are rapidly disappearing from the American auto scene.
