If they put a turbo on that Rover KV6 engine that their planning to use, then that car will be rivaling more than just the Boxster.

I think that the lotus will be a hard rival for the boxster, and that it wont dissapoint me as lotus has never dissapointed me with its models launches

well toyota seems the obvious choice since the new Elise engine is also a Toyota engine (i dont know if/what kind of V60 engines Toyota has).

I will love the new car, no doubt, but still i htink if they had made the M250 concept it would have been one of the best cars ever.
