Southernstar, if you look at the above, production for Boxster copy cat Carrera in 1999 was only signicantly lower than the face-lifted 996 for 1 of the 3 full years (excluding 2005) it was produced.
I'd put the drop in 2000 down to the stock market crash and short-lived recession it produced.
By 2002 the credit markets were face deep in the punch bowl of a nearly zero interest rate policy and the mass securitization of all of these loans that followed immediately after aka... the credit bubble.
