boxsters hit a broader market - sports car, convertible, daily driver, entry-level porsche, track car (more racing support than for a cayman). caymans hit a much narrower market and are in direct competition with the 911 (esp the 996) in that market.

Indeed. I'm still kicking myself for not snagging this cherry '99 that I test drove a few months ago. One owner, mint condition, 50K original miles. Asking price $18,500.
I need a bigger garage.
Just sayin'...........

Yes that was my theory. The fact that Boxsters are more money is annoying now that I'm shopping for a Boxster However I am seeing that Boxsters aren't moving too quickly anywhere. Perhaps its the economy, perhaps the reputation on IMS, who knows.
ps The Cayman S is very capable but I just didn't fall in love with it

True, although many argue the Cayman is the better car due to a better balance with the mid engine. As well, many car people argue the Cayman is much more than just a Boxster with a tin roof. Need to try one of these some day.
