The Surprising History of the Porsche Boxster
"Made by Mazda, built by Toyota, in Finland…."
The folks over at Donut Media did a great job of breaking down an important part of recent auto design history: How the Boxster saved Porsche from near disaster. I remember when the Boxster first came out but had no idea how dire things looked for Porsche at the time. I also didn't realize Mazda and Toyota were indirectly involved in the car's development:

I ordered a new Boxster in the summer of 1997, delivered November of 97 as a 98 model. It, contrary to the video, was built in Zuffenhausen. In 1998 the production was a Valmet. Boxsters produced in 96 and 97 as 97 and 98 models years were real Porsches made in Germany. Don't believe everything you hear.
