1) I checked out the S2000 and the Z4 along with the Boxster but MBZ also has the SLK that will compete with this. The S2000 performs great but it lacks in the luxury aspect and the MBZ doesn't have a manual option which was a big deciding factor for me.

2) I do not have any children yet.

3) I would like to see a little more power. The 987S has great power and in all reality so does the 987 but I am a person that would like to do more. I would like to see some form of forced induction (Turbo) power implemented. Nothing big and maybe only about 5 to 10 pounds on a small turbo (like the BMW 335). That way it will be a lot more tunable for someone that wanted to beef it up but would not bother someone that wanted to keep it stock. Also can we get the lights to tune off automatically if we forget them on. I had an issue with this within the first 24 hours of owning the car. I mean my $20K Subaru did this.

That is just my opinion but I am very new to Porsche.
