Does anyone out there know where the Porsche Boxster is made ? I heard it was not made in Germany but made at an Audi plant somewhere else. Where can I get info to confirm or deny that ?

Millie Miglia · 6th August 2001, 16:46

I heard it's made in Austria not Germany.

Club E31 · 6th August 2001, 16:52

Porsche Boxters and 911 are made in Dingolfing, Germany

In BMW Factory !!!!

I visited it 2 weeks ago ;-)

Gustav · 6th August 2001, 16:53

It is made in Finland at the Valmet factory.

I've heard the Boxster S in red are nice...

The cars currently manufactured in Uusikaupunki are the Saab 9-3 Convertible, Saab 9-3 Viggen, Porsche Boxster and Porsche Boxster S.

So the Boxster comes on the same production line as Saabs???? wow!

Club E31 · 6th August 2001, 16:57

Wow

I SAW pieces of Porsche made in Dingolfing (in the M5 factory !)

Maybe they just finish the cars in finland...

I think BMW presses the bodyparts of the Boxster for Porsche.

Get your facts right!
Some Porsches are made in Zuffenhausen in Germany and some are made in Finland.

No Porsches are made in Sweden but most of the SAABs and Volvos are made in Sweden and the most beautiful women in the world live here.

The answer to your question "why would one want a porsche made in "ikea" land". You wouldn't beacuse that is not an option.

Many good things come from Finland. Like Porsche Boxster and Nokia (what is Ericsson ?) ,and of course Santa Claus

Pluto · 6th August 2001, 20:56

Neh, Santa lives on the North Pole not in Finland. I think both Nokia and Ericsson are from Finnland. Also dont forget Finlandia; some ppl say that it is the best vodka in the world right with Absolut. I dunno cause I dont drink, but my friends swear that those 2 are the best.

I dont like blondies that much so Swedish chicks are out of the question, but it is true that the big percentage of the Swedish girls are REAL hot! I prefer Itlaian or Spanish girls.

ps. Also Swedish make the best large capacity water turbines and pumps in the world.

Ericsson is swedish and not all swedish women are blond.
I hate vodka, but if I have to drink it I'd go with Absolut instead of Finlandia or Koskenkorva. Absolut happens to be swedish.

BTW, I have an Ericsson mobile!

Ossi, Ericsson is world leader in Mobile Telephony Systems. Nokia isn't even third!

Hakka pelle, routsi poika!
