Entry-level Porsche (identical to Boxster but cheaper) put on hold

[Perfectlap]

"and acting as the entry-level model."


^ This is total crap. "entry-level" cars are for sedan builiders. Porsche, at least it used to be, is a sports car company. Each model has its purpose. If you want an uncomprised drop top you buy a Boxster (sorry Cabriolet), if you wat a tool for the track that is impractical everywhere else you buy a GT3, If you don't want pendulus cornering in your coupe you get a Cayman. Also, If you want "entry" into Porsche you can buy an old 911 or 944 any day of the week and save yourself a $500 monthly payment and in the end you'll spend a boat load less than making that last payment on new from the dealer Porsche.. If you buy an old 996 you can actually get a relibale car that won't cost you an arm and a leg for an engine rebuild.

The car media really needs to confine "entry-level" to companies like Mercedes, BMS and Jaguar. Or at the very minimum apply this term to a mini-Cayenne or or mini-Panamera since these aren't in the same realm as Boxsters, Caymans and Carreras.
