I always thought the boxter was Ugly from the day it came out. It looks like something a 40 yr old woman would drive.
BTW a true sports car does not come in Automatic transmission!

Most boxter owners I know are idiots. Pure and simple. They can't afford a real Porsche so they settle for the crappy boxter.
I had a choice between the boxter S and the S2000. I chose the Honda and can't be happier with my decision.

If owning a car is about which model your friends like, start a charity drive and have them each pitch in $$$ to help buy it. Personally I would never own a Boxster....you know, the car that you can't tell the ASS from the FACE. Maybe the attention it gets, is because people wonder whether it's revvvvvvving or farrrrrrrting.....

>>Did you know of Honda's very successful racing history in F-1? How has Porsche done in the most competitive racing series in the world<<

For many, many years now, Honda or Mugen/Honda F1 engines have basically ... sucked. Last year they were way down on power, maybe 40-70 HP or more. Even Honda says so. Plus they were unreliable. They hope to do better next year though with a new engine they claim may be competitive with the current best F1 motor, the BMW Motorsports 3 litre V10.. Honda only supplies engines..there is NO Honda F1 team. Next year Toyota comes in with their very own team. Which will be the first Japanese F1 team since the 60s. Porsche does not compete in series where they only provide the motor.

Porsche does not compete in F1. If they did, they'd likely have their own team which is very costly. Probably there is not enough money coming in from mass market cars such as civics, accords, camrys, and so forth. Porsche competes very successfully in Sports Car racing series, where they generally have their own team or nearly so via link ups with major privateer teams. Look up their record some time. Both companies do well in those series in which they choose to compete.

I think an automatic S2000 is in the works.
