How often do you consider trading up to a newer Boxster?

The new Boxster's are just like the newer 911's - GT cruisers. Sure, they're faster but the car does all of the work for you - which ain't for me.

The perfect car for me would be a 986 GT-3 with a 3.8.

Same here, I do not like the look of the 987 inside or out, kinda like hanging fuzzy dice on the rearview mirror of a race car.

The perfect everyday car for me is a 986 with a big bore 3.6.
