And the boxster matches the definition of exotic sports car, or at least the definition this website has presented:
Exotic Cars 101: What is an 'Exotic Car' (by definition)? - National Exotic Car | Examiner.com
Pretty wide definitions and certainly open for debate. I personally have never thought of the Boxster being anywhere close to an exotic. My neighbor, who really isn't into cars at all always told me he thought my Boxster was exotic (of course he also told me he thought I paid over $100k for it).

I think the exotic part is ultimately all relative to the individual.

Agreed. Also depends on where you live. In LA a boxster might be fairly common, but in most of the world it's rather rare.

I'd agree the boxster is pretty low on the exotic list but it should still be on the list.

That's fair. In my city I see quite a few Boxsters and I never really seemed to turn any heads when I drove it. When I drove it to the small town where I grew up, it turned everyone's head. I'd wager its one of very few (if any others) in that town.
