They new the styling had to be almost perfect, the marketing material strong, and that maybe a Le Mans victory with a 4 cylinder in the past year would help as well. All of this was prepared well ahead of sales figures and it's simply the company giving an extra push where it's expected to be valuable.
Maybe, but I've noticed a definite decline in the availability of used 981 Boxsters, over here at least. You'd usually expect an increase of the old model for sale when a new model comes out. The opposite seems to be the case.
