The Boxster & Cayman seem to be slightly "overpriced" when held up against their closest "performance" competitors - more so than the 911.
I would have to drive it first, but just looking at & reading the reviews of the new 370Z, I would be hard pressed to plop down for s 2009 Box S Or Cayman S at twice the price. And I LIKE Porsches! People just love that 911, no matter what. It's almost like potential 911 purchasers just don't seem to be thrilled about getting an R8, AMV8, or M3. They've waited for a 911, and dammit, that's what they're getting... a 911. The Bosxter never really had that sort of loyalty. I guess one could say that the GT-R makes the 911 look silly, but other than sticker price, they don't strike me as true competitors (not the base or S versions anyway.)
