Cool flashback of Car and Drivers 10 best from the past 20+ years. Cool to see how often the Boxster made the list. From 98 on it was almost a shoe in, with only a few years missing the list.
"Enthusiasts know that the Boxster and the Cayman are blessed with a mechanical arrangement that yields better driving dynamics than the rear-engined 911. In a lineup whose purity is diluted by the brisk-selling Cayenne and Panamera, the Cayman and the Boxster still exemplify, even heighten, classic Porsche values such as a flat-six's raspy purr, steering that's telepathic, and brakes that can almost stop the Earth's rotation."
