Porsche to Bring Back 914?

Back when I received my license in the late 1980s, the cool Porsche to own was a 944 or, even better, a sharky 928. By contrast, a 914 was the car you ripped Porsche crests off in the junkyard. How tastes change. Compared to its expensive siblings, which look as dated as an argyle sweater, the lines of the 914 look classical modern. No wonder Porsche should want to bring the cheapie back.
According to a story posted yesterday on the Motortrend site, that is what Porsche plans to do. According to the magazine, creating a sub-Boxter entry level Porsche is the top priority for the company. Since VW (Porsche's partner on the original 914) now owns Porsche, we suppose it makes sense. Motortrend includes a few drawings of how the entry-level Porsche might look. No word yet on if the car will be badged 914. But from the looks of the drawings, we'd say the car needs more 914 looks. Especially since the original is finally coming into its own.
