OK, this make much more sense now, since the base price for a 2006 987S was $54,700 and the 987 was$45,000. Thanks for the clarity SD987.

What's throwing off the math is the misleading paragraph at the end of the press release which compares the "base price" for all countries to the "end price" in Germany. Basically, the price hike will be 1.3-1.5% internationally, and to get a handle on it, you need to know what the "sales tax and country-specific requirements added" brings the total to, for your country of choice (by way of the configurator).
In Germany (euros):
987 (06) 43,333 - (07) 43,935
987S (06) 52,265 - (07) 53,099
In U.S. (USD):
987 (06) 45,000 - (07) 45,600
987S (06) 54,700 - (07) 55,500
On a percentage basis, the increases are nearly identical, but as Randall pointed out, it's still cheaper to buy Porsches in the U.S. and you can't apply the conversion rate to figure out the price.

So the new 3.4l motor makes the car higher priced by less than a grand? That blows for all us 3.2l folks, but oh well...
At least the 3.4l Boxsters will be in a different class than us 3.2l Boxsters in POC and PCA, at least they BETTER be...
