"The solution seems simple, no? A 300-hp base Boxster and a 400-hp base 911"
I agree and I don't see the problem here, other than economics. I really believe that Porsche sits there and tries to figure out exactly how much $ they can extract per HP.
Hence, the myriad of models on the 911, an S, a 4, a 4S, a TURBO, a GT3, etc, etc.
Same goes for the options and models, ie, a coupe, a cab, a targa. Whats next, a coupe/targa combined?
After a while, it wears thin, at least to me.
Let us have a 300HP Boxster S for say $50K and I think the world will continue to beat a path to the Porsche door. Man, I woud really love to drive a 300 HP Box S with a 6 speed manual!
If I was buying a new 911, for my $75K, I would DEMAND a 400 HP base coupe, normally aspiriated.
Where is the issue here?
