Porsche working on Golf GTI competitor

According to AutoZeituning, Porsche is working on a compact car. It will be launched after the Panamera will go into production. It will compete with models like Volkswagen Golf GTI and Audi S3.

The new model will have under the hood a petrol engine that will deliver around 295 hp. There are no infos at the moment about the engine configuration, but it is expected to be a tuned version of the engine found in the Boxster and Cayman.

NO MUTHA EFFING WAY they do this. Dear God please make it stop. As a 911 owner this is horrible. I understand the place for the Boxster. I get the Cayman too and have come around on the Cayenne. I support the Panamera and think it should have been done long ago. For the love of all goodness though an "entry level" compact car is complete, utter, total BS. This pisses me off.

Porsche's getting greedy.
Is it worth diluting the brand name for more profits?

investors: yes yes yes!
fans: no no no!

I think Chrysler has beaten them to this. Spot the difference...(The Neon is on the left)




Okay, so the Porsche is yellow, but apart from that...
