So why a Boxster?

Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I'm going to have to disagree with you on a lot of points you make. I am only speaking from my experience with the s2000 (it was an AP1) and yes it was a small car, but it was a blast to drive. It did not have the same torque as my S, but it handled extremely well and it could most certainly "toss you around."

As for what makes a car girly. This is obviously something that would be very difficult to describe in words, but I think the s2000 would come short on the fact that it is not comfortable at all. I personally am fine with this, but I would imagine that someone who buys a "sporty" car would want the looks of a sports car, but the comfort of a more modest vehicle which is something the s2000 fails at. My mechanic who loves Porsches and owns many, including a 986S, says that it (Boxsters) looks like a girls car.

And girls love a car that lacks in torque? Most of the points you make go both ways, Boxster or S2000.

Obviously I ended up with a Boxster, and love it dearly, but by all means you can view me as a driver that would buy, and enjoy, an S2000.

Though, I can understand why people would look at that S2000 and think of it to be a girly car. It's pretty petite and lacks torque, which is something most girls love in a sporty car. Also, the color can really make it look like a blatant girls car.

If you ask me, the S2000's image reflects on the driver. On one hand, it's a small, dainty car that doesn't toss you around like a usual sports car. On another, it's a fast, easy to maintain, high-revving car that's about as reliable as they get.

I never thought the Boxster looked girly, considering the way it drives, the amount of room and the way it sounds and it's looks... they don't have the traits of a girly car. That's just my take on it though.
