The good folks at Autocar must have planted a whole bunch of bugs in Porsche’s offices, because they keep coming up with new information about the company’s future models. Hot on the heels of last week’s next-gen 911 expose, the magazine now claims the new Porsche Boxster (expected for model year 2012) will grow a couple inches in order to make room for a smaller, cheaper roadster in the lineup. The company’s new corporate masters at Volkswagen need Porsche to add room for a production version of the VW BlueSport concept seen at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. Volkswagen wants it built, but in order to be cost-efficient, three separate nameplates will have to sell their own versions of it—in this case, VW, Audi and Porsche. Volkswagen is certainly among the best in the business at the platform-sharing game, and the arrangement in question has worked before (for the Touareg/Q7/Cayenne). Besides, the three automakers in question build some of the world’s most enjoyable cars to drive, so even if the corporate overlords force Porsche into this arrangement, odds seem good we’ll see more silver lining than dark cloud.
