I bought my Boxster AND Miata because they are the modern versions of the Triumph TR-6 and Spitfire that I owned back in the 80's (and if anyone thinks that a Boxster is unreliable, then they never owned a 1960's or 70's British sports car!)

For me, the Boxster and Miata provide the purest sports car experience on the road today at almost any price.

Also, I looked at a few 2010 Boxsters last weekend at the dealer and a $60,000 Boxster is hardly a "poor man's" car. Funny but no one ever called my BMW X5 a "poor man's" SUV at about the same price?
