The Boxster is a REAL Porsche!!

^ It should not sting. Because the offical Porsche roadster being a "girl/hairdresser" car is nearly always, like 99.9% of the time, the perspective of a very uniformed Porsche person. Nothing more than Porsche marketing spin to upsell the more profitable build. Granted, HIGHLY effective spin, buyers of luxury nearly always insist that their car be better than some other offering in the line up. Its the very essence of luxury marketing, and Porsche for all intents and purposes has morphed into a global luxury brand. It would not surprise to some day hear people at the country club say "oh it's only a 991 and not a Panamera".

Boxster reality: Very few women drive Boxsters. And the only gay person I ever knew to own a Porsche (that wasn't a Cayenne) drove a 997 Cab. He said my Boxster S was too impractical. By and large the Boxster is a middle-aged guy's car, one whose kids have left the house. Few young people can afford a Boxster, and the few young family guys who can aren't allowed to do so by the wife unit because she thinks its a ploy to get out of driving with the kids in tow.
So the Carrera is deemed permissible by the missus since a Carrera can seat two young kids or two dwarfs in the back. It's the marital compromise Porsche. The Boxster is very selfish, it's all about the driver.
In Argentina they call it the "minus-the-mother-in-law-mobile".
