Is the Boxster the unloved stepchild?

The guy must very simply have been a halfwit. Any knowledgeable Porsche employee would know the Boxster and 911 are the same car available in two different engine orientations. If you lament the Box, you lament its sister 911.

Yes, the Boxster gets lower output engines. But it's the same engine and power is only one part of a complex package that goes into a great car.

Even a basic 2.5 986 is quicker than most early 911 models, values for which have gone crazy. Ditto something like the original E30 M3.

Who cares what other people say. Prejudiced people just end up being shut out anyway.
What is not to love about the Boxster with heated seats and air cond. Options u don't get with earlier 911's ? Even if my engine blows up I can go out and buy a used
Box with a running engine.
