Ohhh let's hope not ! Rendered speculation: Porsche hatchback based on VW Golf

If I were the program manager for that car, I'd keep it VERY light (i.e. aluminum panels, manual seats, etc.), keep it decontented (i.e. no giant stereo, no automatic everything), and give it at least 2.0 liters (w/ and w/o a turbo). Make the 2.0L standard one about 230 hp, and the turbo one about 300 hp. Make sure it feels like a Porsche in the way it steers and handles. Price the NA one around $30K and the Turbo around $40K. They'd sell as many as they could make...
you sure are smarter than you look
Great thoughts on how it should be. By the time it mde it to market, I would be their target audience and I would take a very long look at it. I dig.

Not necessarily. Figure the Cayman weighs in the 2800 lb range. This car could easily hit 2500 lbs. With 230 hp, that'd be very quick...
Keep in mind Porsches have a little performance overlap (i.e. Cayman S is as fast as a base Carrera), so the Turbo version of that hatch could take a base Cayman/Boxster and keep the order intact.

I can see it happening.
