"The Boxster WILL NEVER be up to Japanese standards of reliability.
They just make tooooo many cars, the more you make the better it becomes."

Sorry, that logic is NOT borne out my experience.

To wit:

The original Lexus ls400 was reliable from the get. Blame a great corporate culture, ie Toyota simply gets it right or fixes it right.

Porsche has made many thousands of Boxster engines over the 10 year run.

It is the culture that allows for the engine defects to go uncorrected, not the volume. It is simply an aspect of the German auto culture that blames picky customers rather than their engineers.
