Porsche Boxster and Cayman to Be Renamed to ‘718’

Steven J. Ewing:

Officially, the cars will be called 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman, and Porsche says the two models “will share more similarities than ever before,” both visually and mechanically. What’s more, Porsche confirms the 718 Boxster will carry a higher price tag than the 718 Cayman, which is a switch from the company’s current pricing strategy – right now, a base Cayman costs $500 more than a standard Boxster.

Finally — I never fancied the ‘Boxster’ and ‘Cayman’ names. Wonder if the engines will be any good.
