He's salty because his pinup fantasy is being defiled by the "common man."

He doesn't understand without brand expansion, it'd be a niche player like Ferrari.

Instead, it grew to a behemoth that was able to buy out WV / Audi. Awesome and amazing.

Having driven the Boxster S and 911, I wouldn't go that far. Sure, they're excellent cars, but I didn't feel like dumping my S because of its fun and value factors. However, wouldn't kick any of those out of bed though.

The OP is from Panama. He doesn't know any better. I keed.

Agreed. I had a pretty short list of potential convertibles and the Boxster was included, but the price-to-performance ratio wasn't up to snuff.

You have to assign some value to the brand - which is totally cool my opinion - but personally I don't. I actually figured in a little more value to the slightly better exclusivity of the S2K here in Florida - while they're not uncommon, Boxster sightings are probably 4 or 5 to 1.

same here, I've driven the 911, and it was very smooth, stable, and fast, but not as visceral as something like...well, you know
