Oh wait, there is a hardtop 911 and a targa 911 and a convertible/cabriolet 911, and they are all called the 911/Carrera. Omg I'm about to burst.

To be honest I must have read the articles wrong because I thought they would make the Boxster a flat four turbo, the Cayman would be a lower displacement flat six and the Carrera would be a lower displacement flat six turbo, but apparently they bucked the three tier system. Not saying it is bad, but truly blowing my mind.
OMG, my mind was just blown again. I was watching a video on the 7speed stingray... did you know it locks you out of gears? Apparently other cars do this too. WTF is going on with manufactures? Please explain to me please.
