200,000 Boxsters Produced
 

Guess the 200,000 mark was just passed for Boxster Production. Wonder if the customer gets anything special out of the deal.

cant believe that ignorant mofo left a comment saying that the cayman isnt a fixed roof boxster and that its totally different.... what a mofo.

funny how this was mentioned in the press release :)

"The Boxster line, which now includes the fixed-roof Cayman variant."

I'm not the hard corp enthusiast like some of you, but isnt the Cayman a different model and number?

same here..i really thought that they are different model and number, unless they are using the same body chassis of Boxster, are they?

Hi,

It seems that the Cayman production numbers are being mixed with the Boxsters'.

So while I have not seen distinct numbers on each type, I would estimate that at least 15,000 of those 200k were Caymans (maybe more). So actual Boxster production is really in the 180k-185k range since '96...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

The Boxster and Cayman are each 987 models.

Dang! didnt we just have a full blown discussion about the differences (besides hard top) b/t Boxster and Caymans? What was that all about???

Porsche markets the Cayman S as a different car than a fixed roof boxster S to justify the higher asking price. Alot of feeble minded buyers/consumers fall for it too which is pretty funny because the boxster actually costs more to produce.

Well, now we can all say we have a cayman cabriolet.

Anyone who thinks that the Cayman and the Boxster are not one and the same car (except for the top) should have their heads examined. Simply fascinating that this is even a subject for discussion.
