lol debbie downer.

Yes Boxster sales were down and sales volume is never very high with all Porsches. But the key metric the yahoo article didn't mention is the Inventory Level.

Porsche has around a 42 day supply (meaning it takes an average of 42 days to sell the vehicle.) Compare that to say a Mitsubishi Eclipse (which wasn't mentioned in the article as a slow seller). The Eclipse's sales volume is more than double the Boxster's volume this year. But the Eclipse has a 127 day supply.

Which car would you rather have on your lot - one that sells in a month and a half, or one that takes over 4 months to sell?
