It is "das Auto" (neutrum)
but it is "der Wagen" (maskulinum)
Auto brand/make/model names are always "maskulinum" in German
(exception --> die Corvette, die Viper or die Cobra)
So for a German a Porsche Boxster/911/Cayman etc. will ALWAYS be "maskulinum".
Der Porsche.
Der Boxster.

I think some of you guys really need to get a girlfriend. As in, a real one.

Definitely a she. No dude ever put that kind of smile on my face.
For the record, the real women in my life are fiercely jealous of her, which is another reason I know my Box is a her. I love a good cat fight

Been married and faithful for 20 years. When it comes to cars I need something new every few years.

I refer to my Boxsters as the Silver one or the Blue one.
That sound better than it looked in print. Both are 10+...

I think maybe my box is the perfect female, always looks good, never answers back,always reacts to my wishes and really appreciates everything i do to her. Obviously not a human female then eh??

The Boxster will NEVER be a she because no matter how much guy fun you'll have ripping up the roads the Boxster will never ask you to go to the drugstore to pick up feminine products.
It will never ask you to go to your mother-in-laws house instead of the Golf course. It will never ask you to go on a 3 hour trip to Bed & Bath on your day off.
No female, no matter how high maintenance, is going to be at your beck and call without imposing the Lady Tax!!
If you know of such please let us know if she has a sister.

sounds like you've had some bad experiences with women!!
You're describing long term girlfriends and wives. One-night stands and mistresses don't ask you to pick up feminine products, they don't ask you to go to in-laws (why would she?) and she would never ask to go shopping (again, that's not what she's there for) lol
wives and long term girlfriends are like toyotas. Dependable, bland, low-maintenance, everyone has one, etc.
