Some things we can count on....
1. The new Boxster/Cayman's will be different, have lots more torque, and will sell as well as the current NA cars. Porsche knows what they're doing market wise.

2. Their will be more unpopular to the old guard, chances in two years as European emissions standards become more restrictive once again. That, rather than 2020 is the water mark.

3. The younger, targeted first time Porsche buyers will enjoy the new turbo 4 engines they've become used to in their earlier, less expensive cars. They want PDK's also.

4. Old fogies, like many here, will lament the passing of the boxer 6 NA, the availability of a real manual, electrically boosted steering, water cooled engines, the list is endless

5. Time passes, things change. Porsche knows how to engineer a sports car!

Being an old fogie, I'm getting a 2016 Cayman with a stick shift, not to drive around pointlessly, and wax poetic about, but to use and as enjoyable transportation. B)
