The closest I had to friends/neighbors "keeping up with the Joneses" was in High School (77-79). We all had to have something "fast", but we never copied the same vehicle.
One friend bought a 74 Roadrunner, one got an brand-new RX-7 from his parents for his 18th birthday, another bought a 65 Mustang convertible, I bought a 69 Camaro, one bought a 62 T-Bird, one bought a 67 Charger, one bought a Pontiac GTO and one bought an Olds 442.
The only other similarity is that all were "project" cars needing body work and paint job except the new RX-7.
BTW the guy who got the RX-7 is an autocross racer.
I doubt anybody in my neighborhood would buy a Boxster. Most could afford it, but it isn't a popular car in WI. I've seen less than a dozen different Boxsters in the entire Milwaukee area in the past year.
