So why a Boxster?

I bought the Boxster S over the Solstice because of the Boxster S's power level (a used Solstice GXP would have been several thousand dollars more than what I paid for the Boxster) and because the Solstice/Sky twins have virtually no usable luggage space. But even the base Solstice I drove handled comparably to the Boxster.

I also chose the Boxster S over:

- the S2000 because I wanted some usable torque;
- the Miata because I wanted some power, period;
- the 350Z because I can't stand the looks of the droptop Z;
- the Z3 because of the Z3's rear suspension point failure issues;
- the Z4 because I just liked the looks of the Boxster better; and
- the C5 Corvette because I can't stand the Fisher-Price radio and climate controls.

Whatever, you are welcome to your opinion, if you truly believe what you typed seems like you should have bought one and saved some cash..

2009 Solstice Base RWD 2-Dr Roadster L4 $24,275

could have had two...

Rhys Millen has done OK with a Solstice...

Now put 'em away, boys.

Isn't that a bit like saying, "I've never been with a woman, but my mother ran a brothel"?

Some quotes:
"Boasting a specific output exceeding that of every turbocharged engine on the market save Porsche's new 911 and Mitsubishi's Lancer Evolution"

"On Michelin PS II treaded road-race tires, the Solstice blistered the skidpad with 1.05g lateral acceleration."

Yeah and with Pontiac's future so bright..... driver is always the most important intangible, Mario andretti might beat me in a SUV..

Clearly you want to be right, so... you're right. The Solstice blows, and the Boxster is the best car ever built.

Never said that, however the only thing a Pontiac has in common with a Porsche is the letter P...

This is making me choke milk from my nose from laughing...

Solstice...God, I was forced into renting one and could not believe how comically behind US cars were to my 8 year old Boxster....wow...just wow.

I'm deleting my earlier post...why people are debating between a Porsche Boxster and Pontiac Solstice is just crazy....and sad.

What's next...Boxster vs. Miata?????

Nope. Couldn't have had even one. I paid nowhere NEAR $24,000 for my Boxster S.
