Looking back on some of the cars that made sport driving great, and built the legend that has become today’s Porsche , you have to wonder how we ever got to 3,500 pounds, 500 horsepower twin-turbo monsters. The 356 Speedster, for example considered by many to be one of the first modern sports cars-weighed a mere 1,670 pounds and managed just 40 horsepower in some guises.
It appears the Speedster has made a return, although this time around Porsche has used its Boxster as the basis. The new car is called the 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder and it’s set to make its world debut next month at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show before going on sale in February 2010.

Ford is playing a familiar tune with the new Fiesta. The 2011 Ford Fiesta’s secret is the astoundingly good 6-speed PowerShift automatic transmission. Not only does it contribute heavily to the class-leading 40 mpg highway rating, but it’s real workhorse providing a silky-smooth ride. We found that hills and city driving were a non-issue thanks to the lovely affair of the PowerShift transmission mated to the peppy 120 horsepower 1.6-liter DOHC 1-4 engine while the super-ridged chassis and European-tuned suspension handled curves with ease.
This subcompact car comes as a 4-door hatchback or a 4-door sedan. Hatchbacks come in SE and SES trim levels, while sedan offer S, SE, and SEL. S and SE models have standard 15-inch wheels. SEL and SES have 16, and 17s are optional. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags front side airbags, and a driver knee airbag. A tilt and telescopic steering wheel and capless fuel filler are standard.
