I don't understand why people still find these profit jokes relevant anymore.

Well $40,000 in 1997 has the buying power of $58,217.07 in today's money. [bureau of labor statistics] The MSRP of the standard Boxster is $50,400. The 'S' model is $62,100. However the buying power of the $50,400 of today's money in 1997 is only a more humble $34,629.02

I've always wanted to tune an XK8/R

Autocar reports that this is the first time a six-cylinder diesel engine has been used in the D3; previously, it used a four-banger. But this twin-turbo setup is fast enough to outrun even the potent M135i, and it can sprint all the way up to a top speed of 173 mph. It's also incredibly efficient, and while that…

If the fuel consumption figures had be reported in liters then it would be clear that the source is from the EU rather than the UK, which as you've stated, primarily use imperial gallons.

It appears that a manual is unlikely. The D3 has the same engine as the D5 (the engine is derived from what is found in the 535d) and it's standard equipment is the 8 speed auto.
