I probably would consider the Boxster to be a Poormans 911 had it actually been like a 911. If it looked similar, which it doesn't. If it was rear-engined, which it isn't. If it had backseats, which it doesn't. If it drove like a 911, which it clearly doesn't.
They're two completely different cars and if you're under that mantra that "you only bought a Boxster because you couldn't afford a 911", then you clearly don't know what you're talking about or you're about as ignorant as you can possibly get.
Failing that, you probably drive some lame car that can't compare to the heavily praised Boxster and have an immense feeling of jealousy for it. Pick up any car magazine that says anything about the Boxster, I'll bet you the keys to mine that they're going to say nothing but great things about it.
Porsche made a stellar car in the 911 years ago, and that car is pretty much the brilliant genius amongst its competitors in its range. The same can be said about the Boxster and it's peers. I still think that mantra is stupid, that it's for people who can't afford 911's. You don't hear people with SLK's get flak for their cars because they can't afford SLR's. They're different. Just like the Boxster and the 911.
