Just to add though, the guy with the undesirable hair's DD is a MR2 Spyder... We all know that the only reason ANYONE would buy a late model MR2 is because they can not afford a boxster.

Not really. At all. MR2 Spyder is a great car with a reliable engine. Always has been. The seating position was a little weird for me on the newer one. But I've seen it peform pretty well at autocross. There were these two guys at one club, where one drove an 80's MR2 and another drove an early 1990's Civic and those two guys were seperated by 0.01 seconds week after week after week. Easily two of the quickest drivers out there on any given day.

late model... i love older MR2's... regardless even if he could afford a boxster and choose a MR2 over it. How could you hate on the boxster, it follows the same principles of his car mid engine convertible that isn't a super car. They are literately the only two cars in that class.

I really like after drive and have been watching it for months, but even in other occasions like with all the BRZ or that segments, they seem to be snide to the boxster. Gawking over Z4s and Viggens *i do love a viggen and many locals helped build those original Z4s here in S.C. so i do respect and care for those car* Yet not even mentioning a boxster, something that top gear and fifth gear have mentioned as a GREAT car for a used car buy, and that was a few years ago when prices were even higher. I really like and respect all the 911s in the video, just for me i feel the "real Porsche" cut off is later in years. The only thing even about current Porsches that particularly gets to me is one of the dials being a Screen with Nav and such, I have never found anything so tacky in my life. Screens on the console are fine but keep them away from my instrument cluster.
