exactly, I worked as a tech in a porsche/landrover dealer at the time of launch and that was the general concensus anongst everyone!
I know people don't want to hear it and the boxster is a good car in it's own right but this is what everyones thinking when you drive
past! lol

I think the boxster shape has aged well, and I started liking it fairly recently, same for the Cayman which I also like.
I personally don't care what other people think about me in these matters but most people will see you in your Boxster and assume you wanted a
911. I really like the 944 shape and I wish Porsche had stuck with the FR layout on a sports car rather than trying to make everything look like a
911, a shape based on something Hitler drew on a napkin in a Café 80 years ago (I went there )

I recently bought a 2006 Cayman S because they're much more affordable over in the States. That stuff about it and the Boxster somehow being
like booby prizes is rubbish.
People joke that the 911 is a great car but has a fundamental flaw in its engine position. The Boxster & Cayman fix that whilst keeping pretty
much all the other good qualities of the bigger cars. They're lighter, better balanced and more responsive. They're marginally slower
in a straight line but 170mph is 'sufficient' for the real world, isn't it? Plus they're far cheaper. Where is the bad in
this? Personally I think they're bloody marvellous!
