My concern with the 718 is not the car itself or its flat 4 engine. It is that the boxster now has a 4 clylinder engine while the 911 has a 6. Yes I know that the boxster s I bought in 2003 was a 3.2 liter engine when 911s came with larger 3.6s. But it was still fundamentally the same engine (and suffered from the same shortcomings). So for a substantial saving over the 911 you could buy a very similar product. Now they are fundamentally different, and I fear the boxster may be stigmatized. A Poorsche, if you will.

In what month did the 718 boxster go on sale? Are significant numbers of those early months' sales of prior year models? I have to assume that at least some are
