What Options for a new Boxter ??

Definitely an S for not only your driving pleasure, but for resale. Skip their fancy light kit, but get the bi-zenon if you do any nite driving. Forget the 19 inch wheels because as the economy gets tighter road maintenance is less and more chance of bending a rim on a pothole with 19's.
Also shop different dealers and you may find one that has one on the lot with a lot of options at a deal.
I personally like the very low milage year old S option with an extended warranty and let someone else eat the depreciation.
