New Porsches have never been a good value. The $55k base price for a Corvette is a good value and a $73.5k base price for a Boxster GTS is not.

We can't simply say Porsche is not a good value. For the many people who buy them, it is a good value. That's the thing - value is totally in the eye of the buyer.
I would never call a $55K Corvette a 'value'. To me, no chance. Lots of other vehicles out there that are a better 'value' at $55K.
But that's me. Everyone assesses value differently.

Anyways buy your boxster spyders and GTS while you can. The last of the 6 will be quite reveled one day, and the first of the 6 hopefully will be too!

Consider it a new era boys and girls, porsche is a fuel efficent luxury brand, with a (very sharp and competitive still) sporty edge.
I was intending to hold on to mine anyway, even more so now.

I wonder if Ferrari will follow Porsche and make their next car a 4 cylinder...
