Edit: meaningless. been warned that writing about Internet organized crime wasn't perhaps the most inspiring automobile-related topic :/ Was hard to disagree with so comment deleted lolll

Back to the intent of my note; I don't see anything 'venom' here if compared to some other forums on the Internet. Think 986f is pretty clean of that.

ps. me think cfos and PL needs to peace up, old stuff guys. PL, carry on with your usual Porsche bullying lolll We'll put you back on track if you go too far There are no other members here that knows his Porsche stuff like yourself, think I've learned more on the pcars from you than anyone else here/elsewhere

Gogo venom go!

Too far? Being critical of luxury brands really shouldn't illicit sympathy from anyone. These luxury merchants are paying us no mind whatsoever. In fact they pay no mind to those who actually buy their cars from the dealer either. Just ask all the truly big bucks customers who spent decades loyally dropping over a million dollars on one Porsche after another but were unceremoniously kicked off the waiting list for the hot new Cayman GT4 so that an even bigger fish (a 918 Spyder customer) could get one of those limited numbers of GT4s instead. "What do you mean I'm not getting a GT4? I bought all of your GT3, GT2 and 911 Turbo!" "Sorry sir we have too many 918 buyers who want one too. Please come back soon". LOL.
Anyway, Porsche drivers being critical of Porsche is long-standing tradition. Why stop now.

Oh and I have no issue with CFOS, for all the time I spend being critical of a faceless corporation, he spends posting criticism of forum members simply for having a view different from his own (or for misspelling their opinions... tisk tisk tisk). But this is all entertainment so it's all good. And for a Porsche forum we are all uncharacteristically civil.

One point we haven't touched on.....the pecking order has changed!!!!

With the new Boxster being priced HIGHER than the Cayman - we are no longer 'the entry level model'!

Anyone who has spent anytime over on that other Porsche Forum (starts with R) knows that that can be a touchy subject.

.

718 Cayman will probably fix that.

Is a base Cayenne cheaper than the 718 Boxster?

Sorry, I've been out of town for a few days buying another Boxster. I wasn't referring to this forum or this thread in particular but was speaking in general terms across multiple communities. I haven't heard many happy campers with the whole turbo line-up & 4 cyls in our cars.
