[sd_boxster]

There are two groups of people who chant the "Boxster is the poor man's Porsche" mantra: A small subset of high-end Porsche owners who have a superiority complex, and people who don't own a Porsche at all and feel the need to diminish the Boxster.

It's VERY infrequent that I hear anyone malign my Boxster, and I personally have never had another Porsche owner give me anything but props. As for the non-Porsche owners, I ask anyone who makes the "poor man's Porsche" comment if they've ever driven one. The answer is always no - and in my estimation, ignorance and jealously aren't the two best cornerstones for an informed opinion.
