They never were made in the States.

But if I would have to drive on huge highways with no turns and 50mph speed limit I would get a F22C without hesitation.
Wow, thats a pretty ignorant statement.

Well, being European, have you ever driven a 2.2? As far as I know, you only have the 2.0 engine, so how can you compare? At least people in NA have access to both engines, and can at least make informed opinions about the two. Thus my comment.

IMHO there's no such thing as a "better" car or else everybody in the world with a positive IQ would own that car.

And after saying that.. the Box[S]ter is overrated in USA I guess.. a real Porsche is a 911.
Not really when you consider the $$$ difference. If Porsches could be had for 1/2 the price there would be a lot more on the roads...

A German saying a 911 is the only "real" Porsche.... Sad.

Im not German, I just live in Germany

Don't get me wrong.. Boxsters are excellent cars but are not "wohoooo" cars and Porsche is a "wohooo" brand and 911 is a "wohooo" model.

I see much more Boxster on the street than S2000 (Boxster sales are much higher than S2000 sales).

Actually you pay the same amount of money for a second hand 2000 Boxster than for a 2000 S2000 (the offer is bigger so the prices are lower)

Maybe in Europe, but not here... The Boxster always costs more than the S2K year for year.

The biased opinions here from each individual just sounds extremely gross at some time. Why did the comparison of Boxster and S even start? Yes maybe for an extra 20kish, Boxster "better" be a better overall car? A thread started by some immature complaint is always messed up. IBTL man.
