Hmmm.
Background: Housing is off - subprimes and all that, holiday retail started good on black friday then cooled a bit, Bush theoretically has a plan for the subprimes, banks are having to write down some significant losses, but the Dow hasn't tanked and some of the non-housing non-bank numbers still look ok, but the fed may drop rates again and that has historically pushed the dollar down with respect to the euro, soooo...

What will the coming year bring for Porsche prices in general, and Boxster prices in specific, on new cars? Does PNA cut amenities to hold price? Is there enough margin on a box to absorb part of the currency fluctuation? Any changes on used box prices? (There seem to be plenty out there).

The floor is open for discussion...
