If they do put in a 280 horsepower V6... then yes it could be a Boxster fighter. Depending on where they price it VW will either be making a great cheap roadster or fighting outside its prestige-class. Making a car that competes with one of your own brands, Audi, is one thing, but trying to compete with Porsche is an entirely different concept. I don't think making this roadster would be a smart move on VW's part.
