2004 - Porsche Boxster on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
Up for sale is our 2004 Porsche Boxster S Commemorative Edition. It is one of 1953 vehicles produced to honor the Porsche 550 Spyder, which was introduced at the 1953 Paris motor Show. We have enjoyed this car (along with our 1964 SC sunroof coupe and our 1980 911) but now an older restoration project (SImca 8 Sport) is looking to be funded. There are a number of features of this Anniversary Boxster S that are unique…… no one of them significant, but the collection of small differences made the car very attractive for us. (1) At the time of production it had the highest output engine offered in the Boxster model line….. horsepower at 264 and a top speed of 165 mph (2) An extremely handsome all leather interior in a dark charcoal. (Many of the anniversary cars had a burgundy interior, which many people might prefer; I didn’t want to look at a burgundy steering wheel.) (3) This particular car (numbered 1077 of 1953) had a special feature requested by the first owner, and that was the option of “console delete”. That choice reminded me of the dash on our 356 SC. That silly little feature had a big impact on me. No plastic cassette storage cases / compartments hanging under the dash, just carpet between the dash and the shifter. It made the car seem more open and roomy. (4) The 18” wheels with “Seal Grey” centers and polished perimeters stood out as being so very different. (I did however, purchase a set of of 18” Porsche Carrera in all aluminum for a more traditional look if I felt like it…….never put them on) (5) Car is finished in GT Silver Metallic, a color only found on the Carrera GT. Those were the major elements that made this commemorative model special for us. Additional unique features mattered a less, but let me mention them. (6) The M030 Sport Suspension Package (7) Short Shifter (15% shorter) (8) Brake calipers carry a silver finish (9) Silver painted grills above the rear wheel openings (10) Special stainless steel tailpipe designed for this car (11) High end Bose sound system Importantly, this car has had the Intermediate Shaft Bearing correction kit installed (3,000) but worth every penny not having to worry about that issue. So that’s it !

Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911
Thu, Apr 7 2016Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Best compact SUVs of 2022
Thu, Oct 20 2022Compact SUVs are now the go-to choice for family transportation. Actually, considering how popular they are, they have clearly moved beyond only family duty. With such popularity, though, comes an awful lot of competitors, and it can be difficult to figure out which one might be the best compact SUV for you. It's important to note that by "compact SUV" we're talking about a specific segment. As we describe in our more comprehensive "Best small SUVs" list, there are also subcompact SUVs that vary widely in size amongst themselves, but are clearly smaller than the SUVs below. Frankly, today's segment of compact SUVs isn't exactly compact some have more cargo space than vehicles that are considered midsize based on their exterior dimensions. They've all grown considerably over the years. While many lists out there just rattle off every vehicle available in a segment, we thought we'd be a bit more helpful and curate your shopping a bit with the top-recommended choices reviewed by Autoblog. We've included both mainstream and compact luxury SUV choices. Best compact SUVs of 2023 and 2024 2024 Honda CR-V Why it stands out: Best-in-class space; excellent hybrid powertrain; sharp interior style; Honda dependabilityCould be better: No lower-price base trim levels; no sporty or off-road niche models; no plug-in hybrid Read our full 2024 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search, and look extra closely at the superb CR-V Hybrid option. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, strong-yet-efficient engines, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, and well-regarded reliability. It's easy to see why it continues to be such a best-seller: for the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, it checks every box. That's been the case for many years now, however. The all-new 2023 Honda CR-V changes things up by adding a bit more style and character, particularly in terms of its interior design and how surprisingly enjoyable the Sport and Sport Touring hybrid trim levels are to drive.
