Ready??

GIRL MOST LIKELY TV Spot- "Moving Home PM" - YouTube

At 17 seconds...

Kristen Wigs' character rear ends a 986 (sporting a factory fixed spoiler!). She pleads: "It's just a couple of scratches!" The driver responds: "It's a Porsche!"

To which she condescendingly replies: "Sir... it's a Boxster."

So rude! HAHA! My jaw dropped and all my friends started giggling and teasing me! LOL
I think it's hilarious! Let's face it, as a fellow Boxster owner, I must admit that it's not a 911.

nor is it a Cayenne. Nor is it a Panamera. It's also not a 928. nor a 968.
And not 944 either. Also not a 917.

What it is, is...the best top down choice that Porsche offers with a conventional engine.
Unless you like your Porsches to look like a bathtub with a big butt like the Cabriolet.

This whole "it's not a 911" thing is nothing more than clever marketing spin that a big part of the public bought into.
Somehow I was immune to it from the get go because I seem to be among the Boxster owners who "voluntarily" (LOL) picked mid-engine roadster over rear-engined Grand Touring.

Wait I do suffer from something similar. I'm a hypocrite!!
When I see a Carrera with the street engine, I think "too bad its not a Mezger". LOL.
Damn those Porsche marketing guys... They got me too!!

Boxsters are awesome cars .
Period .
No need to justify , no need to over-compensate .
It is what it is .......

The only problem is :
Pro : whilst the cheaper ones get more affordable , more people will realize this .
Con : they just keep getting better , making me want a more expensive one !!!
